Waterloo’s top town official is set to be arraigned today on multiple charges linked to a 2024 incident at the Highway Department, according to the Finger Lakes Times. Supervisor Don Trout, 41, faces a felony burglary count among other charges.
Trout and fellow board member Bob Lotz are accused of breaking into the department to damage property Trout had been ordered to remove. Both allegedly enlisted Trout’s girlfriend to drive them but declined plea deals offered by the special prosecutor. Trout intends to plead not guilty.
Despite the charges, Trout is seeking re-election this November.
