U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams pleaded not guilty after he was cited by Honolulu police for entering a closed park in violation of the city’s coronavirus restrictions, The Associated Press reported.
Adams, a key member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, was cited by police in early August after he was allegedly found taking pictures at a park on the island of Oahu that was closed due to the virus. Adams’s aide, Dennis Anderson-Villaluz, who also was cited, also pleaded not guilty.
