Kitsap ferry delayed due to man refusing to wear mask

The Kitsap ferry was delayed an hour and 20 minutes on Saturday night when a man refused to put on a mask and became aggressive towards ferry personnel.

The 7:40 p.m. sailing from Fauntleroy was delayed at the terminal after a report of a man assaulting a Washington State Ferries employee on the ship.

The man, who was in his 50s, was asked to put a mask on during the ferry crossing and when he refused, he became aggressive towards ferry personnel, according to a series of tweets from the Washington State Patrol Homeland Security Division.

The man, who had been drinking, was issued a 60-day no-trespass order from Washington State Ferries properties.
