Manny Baron seeking fall trial date
Mapleton CAO Manny Baron is expected to request a trial date this fall for a breach of public trust charge.
Baron was not in court on June 20 but an agent appearing on his behalf waived a preliminary hearing and selected a judge-and-jury trial.
Baron is expected to request a court date on Sept. 28.
Lambton OPP filed the breach of public trust charge against Baron on March 26. It relates to Baron’s leasing of property he owned to the Town of Petrolia while he was CAO of the town. He did not disclose his ownership of the property to council.
Baron resigned from his position in Petrolia on Nov. 14, 2017.
He was hired as CAO of Mapleton in January.
