The owners of the Atilis Gym have been arrested for defying the New Jersey Governor’s order by keeping the gym open for business.
Officials have arrested the owners of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey after they repeatedly defied Gov. Phil Murphy’s COVID-19 shutdown order. Police say 33-year-old Ian Smith, of Delanco Township, and 51-year-old Frank Trumbetti, of Williamstown, are both charged with one count of fourth-degree contempt, obstruction, and violation of disaster control act — both disorderly persons summons, CBS Philly reported.
The owners had been staying inside the gym since last week when a judge ruled the gym was in contempt of Gov. Phil Murphy’s order after reopening their doors.
From July 24 to July 27, officials say numerous people had been observed going in and out of the gym which was a direct violation of the court order.
Both owners refused to leave the gym when asked, resulting in the charges.
They defied the STATE and that’s not allowed.
Do you believe this is too much? Why aren’t Americans angry about this? Do they believe the government can do almost anything in the name of the virus? What do you think?
WATCH THE ARREST:
.@GovMurphy of New Jersey ordered the Sheriffs to close @TheAtilisGym.
They arrested the gym owners and boarded up their business.
This type of government overreach is terrifying.

Just get a lawyer !
Hahahahahahahahaha…..
The same people that are “hell bent” on arresting people for wanting to earn a living, by putting them in jail, are the same people that ARE releasing criminals from jail, a place where they can be easily isolated, so that they would not contract the “virus”…makes one wonder eh !!!
Ian Smith is fearless and I hope he runs for Governor of New Jersey one day. Preferably against Governor Murphy. Sooner than later, we need more people like him to stand up to the tyrants!
I don’t understand what it is about these politicians who think this won’t backfire on them. Our own Governor was nearly goaded by the local press to enforce such mandates. One particular barber shop in a city and county that had Zero cases, let alone deaths, was threatened with arrest. It ended up with many of us going to the State Capital in protest.The media questioned the Sheriff of “why” he wasn’t doing anything to stop it. He looks over and then says to the press, “I don’t see them doing anything wrong”. The idea that having Everyone “stay in their homes” is the Most asinine policy ever perpetrated on mankind. I firmly believe Trump has been sold a bill of goods in proposing such nonsense.
