Adamson Barbecue arrestee must take a COVID-19 test as a bail condition. Several lawyers say the requirement is outrageous and ‘likely unlawful’

Hope that’s not a suppository.

A man arrested after allegedly spitting at police during a fracas outside Adamson Barbecue must undergo a COVID-19 test and disclose the results as a condition of his bail — a requirement several lawyers said is “unreasonable” and “likely unlawful.”

Michael Belito Arana was arrested Nov. 26 as protesters, rallying around the restaurant’s three-day-long defiance of lockdown rules, confronted police. The 27-year-old Markham man faces several criminal charges, including six counts of assaulting a police officer.
