Pepper Spray Case Heads to Trial
A case tied to a confrontation at a Marine City meat market is heading to trial this week. Prosecutors say Ian Pfister used pepper spray as a weapon during a January incident outside Zimmerman’s Meat Market. Video shows owner Richard Hobig walking toward Pfister before being sprayed. Pfister claims he thought he was about to be attacked, but Hobig says he was trying to speak with a nearby police officer. Jury selection is set for today, and Pfister could face up to two years in jail if convicted.
