Police say man didn't observe coronavirus etiquette and back up in line at a Codman Square ATM, instead, he started waving a gun around

Beretta handgun

The gun in question.

Boston Police report a coronavirus-related arrest for an incident outside the Citizens Bank branch at 569 Washington St. in Codman Square this afternoon.

Police say that Ricardio Pantojas, 40, got a bit too close to some other people waiting in line for the ATM around 12:45 p.m.

When asked to move away, the male suspect refusing to practice social distancing and adhere to the line restrictions, brandished a firearm and pointed it in the direction of the victims. Before police arrived, the male suspect and a female accomplice jumped into a motor vehicle and fled the scene.

Police say officers caught up with the car, and Pantojas, a couple blocks away on Whitfield Street:

Given the presence of a firearm, both suspects were ordered to exit the vehicle. After the occupants were removed from the car, a search of the vehicle enabled officers to see and seize a loaded Bersa .380 semi-automatic firearm.

Pantojas was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawlful possession of ammunition, carrying a loaded firearm on a public way and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, police say.

Innocent, etc.

They ain't no good for nothin' else
And if you like to drink your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself
So why don't we dump 'em people
To the bottom of the sea
Before some old fool come around here
Wanna shoot either you or me

Are you the female accomplice? I know Codman Sq, lived there for years. I know that ATM - always trouble over there, particularly in the beginning of the month.
