UPDATE: Trial Date Set for Fmr. Antigo Coach, Teacher

A jury trial has been scheduled for the former Antigo elementary school principal charged with seven drug charges including three counts of manufacturing THC, possess with intent, and maintaining a drug trafficking place. John Lund, who also served as a football coach with the district resigned earlier this year.

According to online court records, the trial is expected begin January 15, 2013 and is scheduled to last four days.

Lund submitted his resignation during a special school board meeting on February 2. In a unanimous decision, members accepted his resignation. Lund was on paid administrative leave from November 30 to January 24, but charges were not filed until January 20.

Joe Adams and Mark Incha, former high school special education teachers are both each charged with one count possession of THC. Both resigned on March 7.

Jeff Neufeld, director of the aquatic center was initially suspended for 35 days for alleged drug use stemming back to 2008. But on April 20, Neufeld was charged with one count of possession of marijuana, and was placed on paid leave from the Antigo School District as the charge was filed.

On November 30, detectives interviewed Lund at Pleasant View Elementary School where he was principal. Lund said that it was in the first part of November 2011, his brother-in-law, Bradley Maahs called wanting to know if anyone was looking for marijuana. According to the criminal complaint Lund obtained marijuana from Maahs and gave two bags to Scot Peterson. Lund told police he and Peterson used to “get stuff for each other.”

Scot Peterson, a former Antigo High School football coach and retired special education teacher, is facing 26 charges including manufacturing THC.

Cindy Fischer, who has been principal at Mattoon Elementary for the last five years assumed Mr. Lund’s duties at Pleasant View and West Elementary.

    There is no actual physical evidence, it's all hearsay! What a joke! Seems like some judicial officials looking for some recognition.

      I guess that issue of High Times magazine in plain sight inside his house when the sheriff's dept. showed up is also another dream and not reality? Just another bit of bogus information in the filed criminal complaint? I suppose the others that said they got pot from John is also a lie. If he is innocent and everything is hearsay then why did he resign from the school district?

    Actually he never admitted to what he is accused of and his house was never searched. Everything is hearsay. To everyone who wants to bring him down to their level, shame! Get a life!

      So the criminal complaint that was filed is wrong, thanks for clearing that up for the public. It's nice to know that he was never interviewed out at Pleaseant View elementary by the sheriff's department and it was only a dream blown out of proportion by local and statewide news agencies.
