Well... "Were they only food shopping for while they were "attending" their seasonal property?"... this is part of the problem.
When we came home from Florida we didn't go shopping for 14 days because we cared about those we would be exposing to whatever we may have picked up in our travels through the entire East Coast. Food shopping is not quarantining, no matter how you look at it. Our friends stepped up and delivered things we needed to our home. IMHO these folks should have made arrangements to have supplies delivered or simply stayed put instead of putting others at risk.

Depends on the area. Many allow for "necessary" travel only. Trips for food, medicine, Dr. visits are still allowed.
I doubt you went from Fl to Nantucket, non stop without any contact with others or their property. Fuel for travel, replacement of perishables all become issues.
At different times NY NJ Ct and RI all had differing laws and were claiming different levels of quarantine, and you passed through them all going back to Nantucket. Did you not stop in any of them for food or fuel?
And as I said previously, the article was scant on details. If they were flaunting the rules and acting like it was "the good old days" I understand the citations, If they sere simply trying to purchase milk and a few perishables and were wearing mask and attempting to do so safely because delivery was not an option there I can understand that as well. And a magistrate, judge or whatever is used in that jurisdiction will no doubt flush it out. But, if a reporter is trying to get as big a story as they can in this case, its sad to see it played this way.
