When California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced a statewide mask-wearing mandate in June, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said he would not enforce the order. In November, as the state neared a breaking point days ahead of Thanksgiving, Jones once again pushed back, refusing to enforce compliance with the states social distancing and gathering rules.
We will not dispatch officers for these purposes, Jones said in a statement.
Now, he has tested positive for the coronavirus after being recently exposed to a colleague, according to a statement from the sheriffs office on Wednesday.
Jones, a Republican who was first elected as county sheriff in 2010, started to notice mild symptoms last Friday, including fever, headache, congestion and lightheadedness, before testing positive on Tuesday, according to the sheriffs office.
