HOWELL TOWNSHIP N.J. (1010 WINS) -- Police in New Jersey on Sunday night shut down a massive "pop-up" party that had been promoted on Instagram.

About three hundred party-goers were spotted outside of a home in Howell Township for the  "Real Big Drip 5" party.


Most of the attendees were seen without masks, but were compliant, officials said. Others were hesitant and began directing their anger towards the host who charged admission, according to the department's Facebook page.

Patrol units remained in the area to monitor the streets over reports of "stragglers urinating on people's property and vehicles," and only residents were being allowed on the street as officers worked to clear the revelers.

Officials arrested the host of the party, officials confirm.

Last week, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy reduced the number of people allowed at indoor gatherings due to the increase of coronavirus transmission rates.
