Deputies break up 5 "super-spreader" parties in LA County on New Year's Eve
Deputies arrested dozens of people after shutting down five New Year’s Eve “super-spreader” parties across Los Angeles County, and also confiscated seven handguns, officials said Friday, Jan. 1.
Two of the gatherings happened in Los Angeles, Los Angeles sheriff’s officials said in a news release. The others took place in Hawthorne, Pomona and Malibu. The venues included rented homes, vacant warehouses, hotels and shuttered businesses.
A total of 90 people were cited for violations of the county’s Safer At Home order, officials said. More than 900 people were warned and reminded of the latest precautions to stem the spread of COVID-19.
A large group of partygoers wearing dress shirts, evening gowns, blazers or high heels filed out of a commercial building in footage posted to social media by the Sheriff’s Department. Most wore face coverings as they left the building, although at least one was seen holding a scarf over his face in lieu of a mask.
