Maryland man charged after throwing 60-person bonfire party

A Charles County man charged for violating Gov. Larry Hogan’s social distancing order after police said he threw a bonfire party with more than 60 people.

Police stated that they have also responded to a similarly large crowd complaint ar Myers’ home last Sunday, March 22.
