A Maryland judge sentenced a person to a year in prison after finding him guilty of hurling two big parties in breach of a country pandemic arrangement that banned large parties. Authorities had been called to this man’s house twice in 1 week, and that he refused to disband the celebration on the next event, police said.

Shawn Marshall Myers, 42, was sentenced to Friday in the District Court of Maryland, stated an statement from the state’s lawyer for Charles County. Myers’ legal problems started on March 22 if”several officers reacted to Myers’ home… for its report of a massive bash” violating Governor Larry Hogan’s sequence where”large parties were strictly illegal,” the nation’s lawyer office stated.

Myers supposedly hosted approximately 50 people in the celebration. “Upon arrival, officials told Myers that his party violated the present mandate. Myers was argumentative with officials but finally agreed to disband his celebration,” the nation’s lawyer office stated.
