Spence trial reset

A U.S. magistrate judge granted a continuance in the trial of a Minneapolis man charged in connection with the 2004 break-in at the UI Spence Labs and Seashore Hall, according to court documents.

Scott DeMuth, 22, is charged with conspiracy to commit animal-enterprise terrorism. On Nov. 14, 2004, four masked individuals broke into Spence Labs and Seashore Hall and caused around $450,000 in damages. The Animal Liberation Front claimed credit for the break-in.

The trial has been reset for May 3.
