In Marine City, a confrontation outside Zimmerman’s Meat Market on Broadway Street has forced the local butcher shop to close temporarily. A group exercising their right to film in public clashed with the owners on Tuesday. Things escalated quickly, with one person deploying pepper spray on a male owner, who was then taken to the hospital as a precaution. Marine City Police are investigating conflicting claims—one side calls it self-defense, the other an assault—while reviewing video footage. The incident has sparked online backlash.
