Grinch Arrested in West Virginia

In defense of police arresting a 42 year old man for wearing a Grinch mask, Wheeling City Solicitor Rosemary Humway-Warmuth stated "It goes back to the old west when bandits used to hide their faces with bandanas." The law was "developed more fully" since the Sept 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, she said. Exceptions to the law include masks worn by those under 16 years of age, traditional Halloween masks, safety gear used in occupations, theatrical productions, civil defense or protection from the elements. The mask was placed in an evidence locker and was not returned to Gray. Hmm... protection from the elements? As in ski-mask? That's silly.
