Maryland man gets year in prison for hosting large parties, ignoring gathering limits

A Maryland man has been sentenced to a year in prison for throwing house parties in March that violated the state’s coronavirus protective orders. Shawn Marshall Myers, of Hughesville, Maryland, was arrested that month after hosting the second of two large parties at his home and received his punishment on Friday. More than 50 people attended the first party and more than 60 attended the second party days later, which came after the governor issued a stay-at-home mandate prohibiting residents from unnecessary social gatherings and trips outside the home, Washington Post reports.
