QUINCY - The former Cohasset town worker accused of running a "cryptocurrency mining operation" out of the high school appeared in court Friday - a day later than expected.

Former Cohasset assistant facilities director Nadeam Nahas, 39, was due to be arraigned in Quincy District Court Thursday but never showed up, forcing the judge to issue a warrant for his arrest.
