A Maryland man was arrested on Friday night for violating a state coronavirus order when he hosted a massive bonfire party, authorities said.

Shawn Marshall Myers, 41, was busted after refusing multiple orders to disperse the crowd of 60 people at his Hughesville home, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.

Myers was charged with failure to comply with an emergency order implemented by Gov. Larry Hogan barring gatherings of 10 or more people to help curb the spread of coronavirus, the sheriff’s office said.

Last Sunday, Myers also attracted the authorities for holding a similar large gathering, the sheriff’s office said. But when officers arrived that time, he agreed to kick out his company, authorities said.

Maryland had 1,239 coronavirus cases and 15 deaths from the illness as of Sunday.
