Roofing contractor who flouts court order could face jail
11 violations at 11 work sites ignored
A Maine roofing contractor's continued refusal to obey a federal court order to correct safety hazards and pay more than $400,000 in fines could find himself behind bars.
OSHA has asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit in Boston to hold Stephen Lessard in civil contempt for defying a December 2011 court order to correct violations cited by the agency and pay $404,000 in fines and interest levied from 2000 to 2011.
