A 65-year-old man from Rochester faces charges, for allegedly hitting a Bodega Brew Pub bartender several times when asked to wear a face mask.

The suspect is identified as Joey Ray Burnham of Rochester. 

Police Ofcr. Dustin Darling tells us that Burnham is not scheduled for a court appearance at this time, and has been given a signature bond. 

Burnham was identified after being photographed by a security camera at the Bodega, during a visit to the bar on Christmas weekend. 

He’s accused of attacking the brew pub employee, after being asked to wear a mask inside the bar.
