61-year-old Raymond Deskins faces a misdemeanor charge, according to TMZ.

Raymond Deskins allegedly intentionally coughed on someone without a mask.

The incident occurred at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

A video clip shows a man, who is reportedly Deskins, having a heated argument with a protestor, when suddenly he forcibly coughs on her.

The man who appears in the video was not wearing a mask and seemed to only make forceful coughs in the woman’s direction after she made a point to air coronavirus concerns.

More from TMZ:

At first, LCSO told us since cops weren’t on the scene and didn’t see this first-hand — and because the video didn’t quite capture everything unfold in its entirety — their hands were tied as far as arresting anyone after both parties claimed assault.

So, as a temporary fix, we’re told the man and woman in the video were instructed to run to court and get a warrant themselves … apparently, only the woman followed through thus far. It’s unclear what spurred Deskins’ assault claim.
