A Maryland man held a party at a hotel amid coronavirus. He now faces criminal charges.

Troopers crashed a Sunday night party at a Carroll County, Maryland, hotel, charging the host who police say not only violated an order from the governor, but also bought alcohol for several teenagers.

This is at least the second time Maryland law enforcement have charged someone with violating Gov. Larry Hogan's executive order intended to curb the spread of coronavirus by prohibiting gatherings of more than 10 people, reports the Salisbury Daily Times, which is a part of the USA TODAY Network.

A report of a party involving underage drinking in a room at the Boston Inn was called into the Westminster Barrack just after 7 p.m. Sunday, according to state police. Troopers responded and met with the suspect, 26-year-old Ryan M. Serra of Lutherville.

Serra told the troopers there were other people in the room with him, police said. Four girls and six boys between 15 to 17 years old then came out of the hotel room's bathroom where they'd been hiding.

Troopers spotted an empty liquor bottle in the room and further investigation revealed Serra was the party's host, had bought alcohol for the teenagers and was aware they were underage, according to police. No one in the room appeared intoxicated.

Police say the teens were identified and turned over to the custody of their parents.

After consultation with the Carroll County State's Attorney's Office, Serra was charged with violation of the governor's executive order and 10 counts of allowing a minor to possess alcohol. The charges were issued on a criminal summons which was served at 2 p.m. Monday.

Charges were not filed against any of the teenagers, according to police.

Maryland's ban against gatherings of more than 10 people has been in place since March 19.

A stay-at-home order directing Maryland residents not to leave their homes unless for an essential job or activity, such as grocery shopping or seeking medical attention, also went into effect Monday at 8 p.m.

Those who violate these orders can be charged with a misdemeanor which carries a penalty of up to a year imprisonment, a fine of up to $5,000 or both.
