A New Jersey court has dismissed 80 charges against Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey. The charges were related to Smith's defiance of Governor Phil Murphy's COVID-19 lockdown orders, which mandated the closure of small businesses. Smith and his co-owner, Frank Trumbetti, refused to close their gym in 2020, leading to numerous citations and violations. The court's decision marks a significant victory for Smith and his supporters. Smith's reaction included the quote, 'Suck My D—k Phil Murphy.'
