Man who defied governor's order by holding bonfire sentenced
A Charles County man will serve one year in jail for violating the governor's state of emergency executive order.
In March, police were called twice to respond to Shawn Myers' home in Hughesville, where he threw a party with more than 50 people. Gov. Larry Hogan's executive order banned large gatherings of any kind.
The second time police responded to his home, Myers became argumentative and told his guests to stay.
Prosecutors announced Myers was convicted Friday after a bench trial on two counts of failure to comply with an emergency order.
Myers, 42, was also sentenced to serve three years of probation upon release from jail.
