Shake and makeup: Fight over social distancing erupts at Myrtle Beach pawn shop
An argument over social distancing at a Myrtle Beach pawn shop left a man with minor injuries, according to a police report.
Officers went to Myrtle Beach Pawn Shop, 1007 Broadway St., around 11:20 a.m. Wednesday for a reported assault.
When they arrived, they found a manager cleaning some scrapes on his arms, according to a police report.
The manager said he and another person got into an argument over coronavirus social distancing guidelines the store implemented, according to the report.
The argument escalated into a fight, but the customer left the store after the manager gave him a pair of vice grips, according to the report.
In the end, the manager and the customer shook hands — an action that goes against social distancing guidelines.
The victim did not want to press charges, and police made no arrests in the case.
