SANFORD, Fla. - The Sanford Police Department said that they are looking for a man who they say spit on two employees at a Central Florida Verizon store because they asked him to follow COVID-19 procedures. 

They said that the incident occurred on August 17th at a Verizon Wireless store on Rinehart Road. He was with a female and employees requested that just one person enter the store at a time due to COVID-19 procedures.

The man reportedly became upset at this and began pacing in front of the store, threatening to fight the employees. He went on to spit on two employees and left.
