Trial starts in council fracas case
GLENDALE -- Jury selection is expected to start Monday afternoon
for the trial of a Burbank man charged with the disruption of a City
Council meeting in May.
Edward Guerrero has pleaded not guilty to assaulting a police
officer and disturbance of a public meeting in connection with the
May incident during which he allegedly smacked a handful of papers
against a wall and attempted to push away an officer escorting him
out of the council room. The officer and Police Chief Thomas Hoefel
had to restrain Guerrero.
Guerrero, 45, has already been ordered to stay away from council
meetings and keep 500 yards away from city buildings, and from
Hoefel.
William Paparian, the defense attorney, said he was going to file
a motion to have the jury visit the council chambers at City Hall to
get a better idea of where the incident took place.
