Peterson Faces Jury Trial Over Library Trespass Dispute
Andrew Peterson charged with trespass appears before Judge Blake for a jury trial set for 9 am Monday. The case stems from a holiday labor dispute at the library project on High and Second streets where John Esberg and workers clashed with contractor Maxwell who ordered the workers off and later arrested Esberg for trespass. Peterson testified for the defense and was later arrested on a trespass warrant. The matter, tied to holiday work restrictions and delays from architects, is expected to be hotly contested.
