Two New Jersey gym owners were arrested and charged on July 27 after they refused to comply with Gov. Phil Murphy’s CCP virus restrictions.

The owners of Atilis gym—Ian Smith, 33, and Frank Trumbetti, 51—were charged Monday after disobeying a judge’s orders on Friday to cease operations and vacate the premises in Bellmawr, New Jersey, said acting Camden County Prosecutor Jill Mayer.
