If found guilty, gallery bosses could face amaximum penalty of six months in prison and a fine of 5,000.The case has been adjourned until September 23.

In April, Selectmen agreed with a plan to install a 'bump-out' at the intersection of Newsboy Lane and Route 23 to slow cars driving north on the road. John Van Wagner, a chiropractor, purchased the lone house on the lane in 2007.
Van Wagner made what he believed to be a fair proposal to slow traffic coming north off Route 23 onto Silver Street: Install the bump-out.
He was emphatic that he did not want to see the road closed, a stance several previous owners of his house have taken. The 'road closed' advocates have not gotten very far, because neither the Selectmen or many of the abutters want to see the road shut down.
The road, in addition to providing a fast short cut to Silver Street, which is itself a connector to Route 8, also provides access to the Newsboy Statue, a venerable piece of artistry more than a century old that is the only monument to newscarriers in the United States.
In April, Van Wagner's plan was approved by the Board of Selectmen and MassHighway was notified. Everyone seemed satisfied.
