Homeless Man Faces Trial for Library Assault | Lawrence News

Brandon Snow is headed to trial for aggravated assault after a terrifying chase outside the Lawrence Public Library in February 2026, where he allegedly pursued a terrified woman with a baseball bat—witnesses and security footage confirm the violent confrontation. Despite defense claims of possible misinterpretation due to bystanders, key testimony and video show Snow grabbing her hair, hitting her, and chasing her across the street while yelling profanities. Police corroborated the scene, and though Snow, who’s homeless and currently jailed, requested release on his own recognizance, the judge is weighing his history of skipping court. This isn’t his first legal run—he was once acquitted of an ax threat near a homeless camp. The trial is set for November 23–24, as the court moves forward with serious charges.
