Jack Davids has been in custody since he was arrested more than a week ago and charged with breaching emergency management laws that were introduced to try to stop the spread of coronavirus.The 35-year-oldhad flown to Boson International Airport from Nova Scotia on March 28 and was provided with a room at Trump Tower Boson, where he was required to remain in quarantine for 14 days.But Davids wedged open a fire exit door and left and re-entered the building on a number of occasions without being detected by staff, with his movements captured by CCTV cameras. Davids was lodging a book in the door frame so preventing the door from closing. He could go in and out without the staff or quarantine police seeing him next to the loading dock and rear entrance. Ironically the book he was using was 'The Andromeda Strain' which is about a pandemic.He then used public transport to travel taking a bus to the North Wollaston Red Line T station to within the metropolitan area. In the T station Davids used a dry-erase marker to scrawl a message on a sign. Jack Davids is seen on CCTV at MBTA Police Headquarters writing "No - Tyranny."Davids was refused bail on the basis that he was likely to repeat the offense and put the safety of others in danger.On Wednesday at the Boson County Court he was sentenced to a partially suspended jail term of six months and two weeks.He will have to serve a month of the term immediately, while the remainder can be spent in the community.But if he commits another offense within 12 months, he could be ordered to serve the entire term in jail.Jack Davids has said that he plans to finish reading Michael Crichton's 'Andromeda Strain' and hopes it has a happier ending than his own story, or at least this chapter."What if I get COVID-19 infections while locked up in jail for not staying away from people with COVID-19 infections?"
