NEW JERSEY (77 WABC) – A Lakewood, NJ couple was busted on Sunday for hosting a gathering of 40 to 50 people at their home. The large group took over their front lawn and street before being broken up. The couple has been charged with violating the ban on gatherings and five counts of child endangerment.
Eliezer Silber and his wife Miriam Silber were the two charged after being reminded that gatherings had been banned in the state for over a week. Five children were present at the Silber’s property.
Can’t believe I have to say this at all, let alone for the second time. But here we are.
NO CORONA PARTIES. They’re illegal, dangerous, and stupid.
We will crash your party. You will pay a big fine. And we will name & shame you until EVERYONE gets this message into their heads.
