A New Jersey man is facing third-degree terror charges after he coughed on a grocery store and then claimed to have coronavirus.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy described the incident during a press briefing Tuesday and alluded to the man as a “knucklehead.” The New Jersey Attorney General’s office identified the man charged as George Falcone of Freehold, New Jersey.

“Charges are being brought against a defendant who got into a dispute with an employee of Wegman’s, coughed on the woman and told her after doing so that he had coronavirus,” Murphy said, detailing the event. “He then refused to cooperate with the police, to either give them his name or his driver’s license for more than 40 minutes. A summons is being issued for terroristic threats, harassment and obstruction.”

Murphy went on to say that while the Falcone’s actions did not violate any portion of his executive orders regarding the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, he did describe the man’s actions as “non-compliant” and “egregious.”
