Judge orders business to come up with $1.43M in lobster sales lawsuit

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • June 5, 2020

A federal judge has ordered the former owners of a wholesale lobster business and the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound to set aside $1.43 million, which is the amount a lobstermen’s group is expected to be awarded in its lawsuit against members of the Pettegrow family. The Maine Lobstering Union in December sued the former CEO of its wholesale business and his parents in U.S. District Court in Bangor, alleging that the family defrauded and stole from the group after selling it their wholesale lobster business three years ago.
