Home › Local News › Ontario, Seneca & Wayne County News › Former Waterloo Board Member Back in Court Today The Town of Waterloo building, located in upstate New York, serves as the municipal office. One of the past members of the Waterloo Town Board accused of vandalizing the town Highway Department is set to appear in court on Monday for pretrial arguments. Bob Lotz, who faces a felony burglary charge and a misdemeanor count of fourth-degree criminal mischief, is scheduled to be before Judge Barry Porsch in Seneca County Court. The case originates from an event in March 2024 when Lotz and former Town Supervisor Don Trout are said to have entered the Highway Department and damaged a television. Both individuals have pleaded not guilty. As reported by Finger Lakes Times, Trout, facing a felony third-degree burglary charge along with seven misdemeanors and a violation, is also due for pretrial motions on March 18. State Police arrested both men in January 2025, and six months later they were indicted by a Seneca County grand jury. Trout lost his reelection bid to Democrat Ted Young in November, while Lotz stepped down from his board position to challenge Highway Superintendent Joe Mull but was unsuccessful.
