Port Edwards mill dispute leads to court assault charges
BP Rosebush in charge of employment at Nekoosa Edwards mills faced Judge Pomainville last Friday on an assault charge tied to strife at Port Edwards. The case stems from a melee after a union meeting, with Rosebush accused of grabbing Laster O Dell by the throat and restraining him as others waved threats with a firearm. Other defendants include J Cobors and J Thompson, both facing assault and battery filings, and Otto Mederwitz as a complainant. Win Severance also appears as a witness.
