Occupy Lawrence protester a no-show for court appearance

An Occupy Lawrence protester who faces a criminal trespassing charge for climbing on the roof of a downtown business did not show up for court Tuesday morning, Lawrence Municipal Court officials said.

Sean Maupin, 24, of Lawrence, had an arraignment scheduled for Tuesday, but now a judge is expected to issue a warrant for his arrest for failing to appear in court. On Nov. 5, Lawrence police arrested Maupin on the roof of Weaver’s Department Store, 901 Mass., after Maupin spent more than a half-hour chanting slogans while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.

A representative of Occupy Lawrence paid Maupin’s $100 bond, and he was given notice to appear in court Tuesday.
