In a Facebook post, Buds said two health inspectors and two police officers came into the establishment at around 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 30 to do a compliance check.

Three customers were not wearing masks, according to Buds.

“The patrons had been told by employees that masks had to be worn and worn properly. The three patrons fined were not wearing their masks when the Health Authorities came in and were fined,” the post said.

“One of those patrons had a confrontation with the police officer and was arrested.”

The SHA said tickets were recently issued to three individuals, each in the amount of $2,800, for failing to wear a mask in a public place.

It did not say if those were the same people who were ticketed at Buds.

Masks are required at all times in a bar or restaurant except when eating or drinking.
