According to Indiana’s mask mandate, not wearing a mask is a Class B misdemeanor. Many area law enforcement agencies say they won’t be enforcing it.
Washington and Loogootee police departments both released similar statements. Both say that “the refusal or failure for any one individual to wear a mask in public does not constitute a crime”. Both ask for residents to be respectful of each other regardless of their support of the mandate.
Elkhart County Sheriff Jeff Siegel has also said that he will not enforce the governor’s mandate.
