Nyjah Huston, the four-time world skateboarding champion and X Games gold medalist, is one of five people charged by Los Angeles prosecutors late last week for allegedly organizing large parties that had the potential to become superspreader events in violation of COVID-19 safety orders.
Los Angeles Times reports, Huston and Edward Essa, the owner of an alleged party house on Curson Avenue in Fairfax, have been charged with the misdemeanor offense of creating a nuisance after several visits by the police failed to curb their fêtes, causing Mayor Eric Garcetti to order the house’s electricity turned off.
In January, LAPD officers responding to a complaint about a crowd at a “social media influencer residence” cleared about 40 people from the property, where law enforcement had previously shut down festivities and issued warnings on September 12-13 and October 17.
