New Jersey cops busted two weddings this week that were flouting coronavirus-prevention crowd restrictions. NJ.com reports that cops went to the Fountain Ballroom and the Lake Terrace in Lakewood and told the staff that more than 50 people could not be on site at once, bringing the celebrations to an end.
