Prosecutors say Button pointed a gun in February 2017 at the first of four kayakers and fired several shots.
They say the lead kayaker saw one shot hit about four feet (1.2 meters) from him and Button told the kayaker his next shot wouldn’t miss.
Button’s attorney, Brad Rideout, didn’t give an opening statement.
Button is not in the custody of authorities.
