Norman Duchamp
Milo Pressman is the superintendent of the Castle Rock city dump, which he guards with his dog, Chopper. Milo is a middle-aged man who dislikes kids trespassing in the dump. He seems to be well-connected in the town, since he knows Gordie, Vern, Chris, and Teddy by name. He’s a mean-spirited man who taunts Teddy about Norman’s mental health in an attempt to bait the boy into getting attacked by his dog.

Quotes
He was wrong to mention Denny. I had wanted to reason with him, to point out what Ace knew perfectly well, that we had every right to take Billy and Charlie’s dibs since Vern had heard them giving said dibs away. I wanted to tell them how Vern and I had almost gotten run down by a freight train on the trestle which spans the Castle River. About Milo Pressman and his fearless—if stupid—sidekick, Chopper the Wonder-Dog. About the bloodsuckers, too. I guess all I really wanted to tell him was Come on, Ace, fair is fair. You know that. But he had to bring Denny into it, and what I heard coming from my mouth was my own death-warrant: “Suck my fat one, you cheap dimestore hood.”
