Gordon Lewis, 20, is accused of attempted safe-cracking at Miner’s State Bank Oct. 3, 2011. The crime is a five-year felony. He also has a trial pending on felony charges of larceny in a building.

Monday included testimony from Paden Rothenberger, who was sentenced to a year in jail in March for his role in the attempted break-in. Testifying against Lewis was part of Rothenberger’s plea bargain.
