Lobsterman faces multiple court dates over fishing charges

January 27, 2016 — Gloucester lobsterman Joseph Sanfilippo has several court dates in his future for alleged violations of Massachusetts fishing regulations.

On Tuesday, Sanfilippo, 48, of 1 Thorn Hill Way, Gloucester, was in Gloucester District Court for a clerk magistrate’s hearing that was continued to March 1.

The charges from that hearing — reportedly for numerous violations — would not be released until after the hearing was conducted. The magistrate would also determine if there were legal grounds to allow the charges to go forward.
