Maryland Man Arrested for Having 60 People Over for Bonfire, Violating Social Distancing Orders

A Charles County, Maryland, man who threw a party at his house has unintentionally social-distanced himself from everyone after authorities say he was arrested for refusing to comply with the governor's order against large gatherings.

Shawn Marshall Myers, 41, was arrested Friday night after officers found about 60 people hanging out around a bonfire at his home in Hughesville, the Charles County Sheriff's Office said.

The sheriff's office said it was the second time Myers had hosted a large gathering since Gov. Larry Hogan's emergency order banning gatherings of more than 10 people went into effect. Deputies responded to his house on March 22 after receiving another complaint about a party there.

So easy to make a claim like that but no factual statement to follow.

I think his blue hair says all we need to know about his thoughts about others

The other 59 could now be spreading the virus they should be arrested and charged.

You don’t need any facts the story says it all. I see multiple first amendment violations and a fourth amendment violation. When this is all over the country will be broke and the lawyers will be rich.

South Korea and China removed sick and suspected sick people from their homes by force and placed in a quarantine tent. However Debra and Tony said this model would not work in America. Probably will next time

Doesn’t look like the sharpest knife in the drawer. And the blue hair? Obviously a dem.

Lock him up and quarantine the other people all for 14 days.
If anybody gets sick change his charges to attempted murder, if the person dies charge him with murder and make an example out of him.

This disregard for peoples lives has got to stop!

Got to give the cops something to do to justify there salaries. Wicomico taxpayers are paying out over 50 million a year for public safety.

Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose. We are all losers now. When the Democrats win in November say goodbye to life as we knew it.

They will charge him with disturbing the peace as well as public nuisance. No violation of his rights. It all depends upon what he is charged with. I am sure all of you commenting are constitutional lawyers. He has not been charged with unlawful assembly, that would be a violation of his rights. You guys really must be missing the bars so you can pass your bar exams!!

In all fairness he should have been arrested for having blue hair. No self respecting man would do that to himself.

If they take away one of your rights, why can't they take all of them? They HAVE BEEN screaming to take away your guns for "safety" too. They've stripped us of our 4th Amendment rights as well through the Patriot Act. Wake up people. '"...the blood of tyrants." - T. Jefferson'

Your right about that.

Listen to all of you good moronic slaves, saying "Good look them up", LOCK THEM UP FOR WHAT???? The governor HAS NO AUTHORITY TO CLOSE STORES OR DEEM ANY OF THEM ESSENTIAL OR NOT!!!! He has NO AUTHORITY to make you do SOCIAL DISTANCING, you morons just think he does... But when you have pussy coward cops who will do anything for a paycheck, then this is the result... Remember a few days ago where they came out and said they were not going to arrest for petty crimes, like robbery, theft and braking into homes??? But they will lock you up for this??? And they don't do this for the Flu or H1N1 or when Obama said there was Ebola here (clearly Obama was lying), yeah no one gave a shit then...

Get a grip people, 90% of this is fake and staged!!!! WHY do you think there are so many LAWSUITS going on right now???? IT IS ILLEGAL TO BE SHUTTING PLACES DOWN... You all need to get yuor head out of your ass and look at the laws... A pandemic is not even, under law, considered a national emergency, and as such give NO AUTHORITY TO ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING, unless you willfully let them, LIKE GOOD SLAVES!!!

Let me also add to my previous comment, IF everything is SO LEGAL FOR HOGAN TO DO THIS TO PEOPLE, then why does everyone keep saying URGES YOU TO COMPLY versus DEMAND YOU COMPLY??? Like cops, when they have a lawful, legal reason to mes with you, they mess with you no matter what, when they do't have a legal, lawful right to mess with you, they urge compliance and request compliance and ask for compliance...

You people need to look up the law before you run your mouth, about locking people up that are having their rights violated!!!!
