Bill and Amy Gross were found guilty of contempt of court for flouting a judge’s order not to annoy their California neighbor with loud music. The couple was sentenced to 5 days in jail, which was suspended because of Covid-19.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Knill ruled Friday that the Grosses flagrantly violated an order she issued last year prohibiting them from playing music too loudly in their backyard. The judge fined the couple $1,000 each and ordered them to do two days of community service. They are also prevented from playing music outdoors at their ocean-front property.
