A woman was charged for organizing a protest against New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s stay-at-home order as authorities in the state continued aggressively acting against people allegedly violating the mandate.

Kim Pagan, a Toms River resident, was charged by state police with violating emergency orders “by organizing a prohibited event today in Trenton in which protesters gathered outside the State House and at other locations in Trenton to demonstrate against the governor’s Executive Orders,” according to a joint statement from state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal and Col. Patrick Callahan, superintendent of the state police.
