"In the midst of all this chaos, the band still played on, that is until they were advised in the middle of the 1975 classic 'Wish You Were Here,' that they must stop the show," police said.
A New Jersey man faces charges of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct after a Pink Floyd cover show he put on from his front porch drew about 30 people, violating orders to stay home and avoid social gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic.
Police said they tried to break up the crowd, telling them they were violating Gov. Phil Murphy's executive order"regarding these so called 'corona-parties.'" But audience members responded with"F-the police" and"Welcome to Nazi Germany," and the musicians, who were live-streaming on Facebook, continued playing.
At that point, the homeowner, identified as John Maldjian, 54, told his Facebook audience that he would have to stop playing. He was also charged with violating emergency orders and two borough ordinances, according to the statement from the attorney general's office. The lawyer said his client also had"absolutely no knowledge of the horrible and vulgar things that people allegedly said to the police."
