Officials in Los Angeles were serious when they said no large gatherings in order to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus.
Turning the power off wasn’t enough to get TikTok stars Bryce Hall and Blake Gray to stop throwing house parties in the Hollywood Hills, so the mayor stepped up his efforts.
The pair have now been charged with one misdemeanor count each for violation of the local emergency order, plus citations for a noise ordinance, according to TMZ.
Following Gray’s 21st birthday bash, which video showed attendees not wearing masks or social distancing, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti had the utilities cut. Gray later apologized.
