Party hearty in the era of coronavirus, and it won’t be the noise that brings the cops to your door.
Police in Ewing Township, N.J. shut down a jam-packed soiree on Friday night, and charged its host with violating N.J. Gov. Phil Murphy’s order canceling “parties, celebrations, or other social events.”
Wade E. Jackson, 47, even had a DJ at the party in his tiny 550-square foot apartment, which was attended by 47 people.
Police summonsed Jackson for obstruction of administration of law and violation of emergency and temporary acts — namely, Murphy’s order.
“The organizer was charged as they should have been and deserved to be,” Murphy posted on Facebook.
“This is not a game,” the governor added. “Stay home. Be smart.”
Cops in Ewing — a Trenton suburb — got an anonymous call about the gathering at 11:44 p.m. on Friday. Jackson called the event a “Corona Party,” police said.
Murphy said that 11,124 New Jersey residents had tested positive for the coronavirus as of 1:30 p.m. Saturday. So far, 140 people in the state have died.
New Jersey saw 2,289 COVID-19 cases pop up in the state in the last 24 hours.
Sickened residents seemed to be clustered in Bergen and Essex counties, which had 1,838 and 1,086 cases respectively, officials said.
