ARREST

AUGUSTA

Wednesday at 4:29 p.m., Dylan S. Karczewski, 24, of Augusta, was arrested on a warrant on Greenwood Street.

The payment is part of a settlement of claims that the automaker failed to disclose safety defects.

Maine will receive $1.1 million as part of a multistate, $120 million settlement with General Motors Co. over allegations that the Detroit automaker concealed safety issues related to defects in certain vehicles.

The settlement, reached between GM and the attorneys general of 49 states and the District of Columbia, concludes a multistate investigation into the auto manufacturer’s failure to disclose the defects in a timely way, Maine Attorney General Janet Mills’ office said Thursday in a news release.

“This intentional deception by GM created a dangerous situation for their customers and for everyone else on the road,” Mills said in the release. “My office will continue to go after deception by any business, no matter how big, that endangers the public.”

In 2014, GM issued seven vehicle recalls affecting more than 9 million vehicles in the U.S. The recalls involved a defective ignition switch that can cause a loss of electrical systems, including power steering and power brakes.

The vehicles’ safety airbags also might fail to deploy in a collision, increasing the risk of serious injury or death in crashes, according to the release.

The states alleged that certain GM employees knew as early as 2004 that the ignition switch posed a safety problem because it could cause the airbag to fail.

Despite that knowledge, GM personnel delayed issuing recalls, the release said.

GM continued to market the reliability and safety of its motor vehicles, which were equipped with the defective ignition switch.

The states alleged that the automaker’s actions were unfair and deceptive in violation of state consumer protection laws, including Maine’s Unfair Trade Practices Act.

Mills spokesman Andy Roth-Wells said the $1.1 million will go into the office’s consumer trust account and will be used for purposes such as paying litigation costs and funding programs overseen by the office.

Roth-Wells noted that a class action lawsuit filed by consumers against GM over the defective ignition switches still is underway.

A long haul trucker from Bath was sentenced to more than 27 years in prison Thursday after pleading guilty to sexual abuse of a child that occurred more than 20 years ago.

David Miller, 54, of Bath was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Portland by Judge D. Brock Hornby, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. In addition to the prison sentence, Hornby ordered Miller to serve five years of supervised release after he pleaded guilty to the charge of transportation of a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual abuse. Miller pleaded guilty to the charge on June 1.

Court records show that during the summer of 1995, Miller, who was 33 at the time, was working as a long haul truck driver for a company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. In June and July, Miller took a 13-year-old girl with him on two trips.

In 2015, the FBI began an investigation after Miller’s daughter saw a photograph on Facebook showing a 5-year-old girl sitting on Miller’s lap. FBI agents interviewed Miller in Flint, Michigan one year ago and he admitted to the crimes from 1995.

The investigation was conducted by the Bath Police Department, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and the offices of the FBI in Portland, Boston and Detroit.

A Rhode Island man was arrested and charged with robbery after an incident early Friday morning at an Augusta convenience store, Augusta police said in a news release.

Officers responded to a report of a robbery at 4:23 a.m. at The Big Apple on Civic Center Drive, according to Deputy Chief Jared Mills. Upon arrival, police were informed that a white male took an undisclosed amount of cash from a cash register by force before quickly leaving the store. No weapon was displayed, Mills said, and no injuries resulted from the robbery.

A Maine State Police dog unit assisted in tracking the suspect, who was described as having short black hair and a mustache and wearing a green hooded sweatshirt, to a nearby residence.

Based upon the evidence collected, Brian Coutu, 28, of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, was arrested and taken to the Kennebec County jail. He was being held in lieu of $10,000 cash bail.

Leo Coutu, 32, was arrested at the residence on outstanding warrants unrelated to the robbery. Mills said he didn’t know whether the two men are related.

ARRESTS

IN SOMERSET COUNTY, Thursday at 10:18 a.m., Michael James Pixley, 21, of Skowhegan, was arrested on three warrants for failure to appear in court on theft charges.

The prosecutor who won the 1992 murder conviction against Anthony H. Sanborn Jr. said Friday that detectives in the case did not turn over their notes to her office, and that to expect officers to write a report about every person they spoke to during the investigation would be “overwhelming.”

Sanborn’s ongoing attempt to overturn his conviction for the 1989 murder of Jessica L. Briggs is based largely on allegations that the state did not turn over material and exculpatory evidence to his original defense team, as they are required to do, depriving him of his constitutional rights to a fair trial and due process.

Former Assistant Attorney General Pamela Ames’ comments came during the first 90 minutes of her testimony Friday, before Sanborn’s post-conviction review hearing was adjourned for the day because of an attorney’s illness.

Before the recess, Ames was not asked whether notes are typically turned over to her office, or if the practice of only turning over formal, typed police reports to the prosecutor was out of step with best practices at the time. She said on the stand that she trusts police officers to bring her information to use in a prosecution, and that while she works with them to bring a successful case, she does not direct them in their investigation.

“If a police officer would write a report about every single person he came in contact with in this case, it would be overwhelming,” she said. “They have to do their job and they have to have a filter as to what is really relevant to the case.”

Sanborn is trying to clear his name through a post-conviction review process that began in January and is culminating in the current evidentiary hearing in which his attorneys, Amy Fairfield and Timothy Zerillo, are laying out a case for why they believe Sanborn was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 70 years in prison. He was granted bail in April after the only eyewitness to the murder, Hope Cady, recanted her testimony and said she was coerced into testifying by Portland police detectives who threatened to jail her if she did not comply.

The detectives have denied those allegations, and said they never coerced anybody in the investigation.

Sanborn’s defense team also has accused Ames, now a defense attorney in private practice in Waterville, of having suborned perjury when detectives and other witnesses lied under oath during Sanborn’s trial. Ames, in prior media interviews, has denied the allegations and maintains that the state of Maine prosecuted and convicted the right person for Briggs’ grisly murder.

Quickly after taking the stand, Fairfield began digging into the details of the prosecution, with an eye toward whether prosecutors and police complied with rules that require investigators to turn over all information to the defense that is both material and exculpatory.

At the time of the murder in 1989, police operated on an almost entirely analog system, according to prior testimony by Daniel Young and James Daniels, the two officers who investigated the case. Investigators took notes by hand on legal pads or flip-top notebooks as they interviewed witnesses. Those notes were then turned into narrative reports or first-person statements that were written long-hand, passed off to typists, and then handed back to detectives for corrections or alterations.

In her claims of wrongdoing, Fairfield is relying on a trove of documents that Daniels, the lead investigator, kept at his home since he retired from the Portland Police Department in 1998. The two cardboard boxes contained physical evidence, original case files and importantly, the notebooks with the handwritten records of interviews.

The Briggs homicide investigation began on May 24, 1989, when workers at a Bath Iron Works dry dock on the Maine State Pier found a pool of blood on the pier near the water. Briggs’ body was recovered a short time later from Portland Harbor. She had been stabbed and slashed to death.

Much of the eight days of testimony in the conviction-review hearing has involved comparisons between what Daniels and Young took down in their handwritten notes, and what was included in their typed reports.

Justice Joyce Wheeler, who is presiding over the case, will determine whether information was withheld, and whether that information would have led any reasonable juror during the original trial to have decided the case differently.

Testimony from Ames could take several days. The hearings, originally scheduled to last for 12 days until Oct. 25, are expected to go longer. The court clerks are holding Courtroom 8 at Cumberland County Unified Court for the hearings until they are complete, or until Wheeler leaves on vacation on Nov. 17.

A Maine activist who accused a Haiti orphanage founder of being a pedophile contends a defamation lawsuit violates a state law protecting against lawsuits that aim to chill First Amendment rights.

Lawyers for Paul Kendrick have asked a state judge to dismiss the defamation lawsuit. The motion says his “shocking” statements aimed at generating attention are protected speech.

The defamation allegations have been going on for years. Lawyers for orphanage founder Michael Geilenfeld and a U.S. charity, Hearts With Haiti, first sued Kendrick in 2013.

A federal jury previously awarded $14.5 million to Geilenfeld and Hearts with Haiti. But the damage award was overturned after the U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals found that the original lawsuit lacked jurisdiction in federal court.

Portland police are seeking a man who tried to kidnap an infant from the Hannaford store in Back Cove on Friday.

Police reported that a man walked away with a child in a cart while the infant’s father was shopping. Police Chief Michael Sauschuck said the call about the potential child abduction came in just after 1 p.m.

The father alerted store personnel, who ordered a “code Adam,” said Michael Norton, a spokesman for the Scarborough-based chain.

Norton said an announcement of a “code Adam” is made over the store public address system and all entrances and exits to the store are locked. Store employees are stationed at entrances and exits to the store and check to make sure no one tries to walk out with a child.

When the child was located elsewhere in the store shortly afterward, the code Adam was lifted and the doors reopened. It is believed the suspect left the store at that time.

Police said they were looking for a white man in his 30s wearing a yellow shirt and white hat with an orange brim.

Sauschuck declined to go into specifics about the man they are seeking, apart from saying that “the child was certainly taken from the area where the baby’s father was to another location in the store.” He said the infant was fine and never left Hannaford, but the incident left the family “shaken.”

“The staff here, the security and the management did an incredible job following their internal protocols,” Sauschuck told reporters outside the store. “We are following some video evidence and doing some additional follow-up now to determine exactly what occurred inside. I will say the circumstances are certainly suspicious in nature.”

Sauschuck said police may release the video, depending on the outcome of their efforts to find the “person of interest.” He said they had not yet determined what criminal charges the individual could face.

Norton said apparently no one stopped the suspect from leaving the store because they didn’t have a description of him and they were watching for a child.

“The store team did an excellent job,” Norton said.

Orion Krause, the 22-year-old Rockport man accused of killing four people in Massachusetts with a baseball bat, has been found competent to stand trial, his attorney said Friday.

Krause was ordered to be held at Bridgewater State Hospital to continue treatment, his attorney, Edward Wayland, said in an email.

The competency report has been impounded from public view, according to the clerk’s office at Ayer District Court, where Krause made his preliminary appearance.

Krause is expected to be indicted by the Middlesex District Attorney’s office. His next court date is Dec. 15 in Ayer, but if a grand jury indicts him before then, the case will be transferred to superior court, said Wendy A. Wilton, clerk-magistrate for Ayer District Court.

Krause is charged with killing his mother, Elizabeth Lackey Krause, 60; his grandparents, Frank Darby Lackey III, 89, and Elizabeth Lackey, 85; and their home health care worker, Bertha Mae Parker, 68, with a baseball bat at his grandparents’ home on Common Avenue in Groton Sept. 8.

Krause grew up on Monhegan Island and then Rockport, an affluent midcoast community. He was a talented jazz drummer and graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio last spring.

Friends and others who knew him and his family said the killings were entirely out of character.

Krause’s father, Alexander “Lexi” Krause, who spoke briefly to a reporter this month, said the tragedy highlights the need “to pay more attention to mental health,” but he didn’t address whether his son suffered from any mental illness.

Following the killings, Krause allegedly walked through a wooded area between his grandparents home and a neighboring house and removed his clothing. He appeared at the neighbor’s home muddied and smeared with blood.

The neighbor called police, who soon found a grisly scene inside the house.

Court documents unsealed in September included probable cause for Krause’s arrest and include written statements from four police officers who were at the crime scene or spoke with Krause.

Although detailed, the documents do not include any clear motive Krause may have had, other than a cryptic assessment that he “freed” the victims. They do, however, include an admission from Krause that he was a heroin user – a detail that had not previously been disclosed – although nothing in the documents indicates he used heroin immediately before the killings.

The documents detail how the neighbor, Wagner Alcocer, called 911 to report that a man, later identified as Krause, had shown up at his house.

Groton Police Officer Gordon Candow was one of the first to arrive.

“I walked up the step to the back patio and I could see a white male in his early twenties sitting in a patio chair,” he wrote. “The male was naked and it appeared he had rubbed mud all over his body. The male was also covered in thin cuts. When I approached him I asked, ‘Are you okay?’ and ‘What’s going on?’ The male stated, ‘I murdered four people.’ ”

Krause then told the officer who he had killed. When asked where it happened, he pointed toward the woods near Alcocer’s house and said, “somewhere over there.”

During questioning, Krause began singing and said, “I freed them,” according to police reports.

Police found the grandparents and Krause’s mother dead in the Lackeys’ house. The caregiver, Parker, was found outside, face down in a flowerbed. The documents do not indicate whether Parker was killed outside or whether she may have tried to flee.

Police gathered evidence from the scene, including a wooden baseball bat covered in blood.

A motion to admit polygraph test results as evidence in the manslaughter trial of Miranda Hopkins, of Troy, accused of killing her 7-week-old baby in January, was denied Friday by a judge in Waldo County Superior Court in Belfast.

Hopkins’ lawyer, Laura Shaw,filed a motion in August to have the results of polygraph tests allowed as evidence at trial, showing that Hopkins did not kill her infant son.

Jury selection in the trial is scheduled to begin Thursday. The trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 30.

Shaw, an attorney with Camden Law, filed the motion to admit the test and its results, as they “overwhelmingly demonstrated” that Hopkins was innocent, according to court documents. Shaw said the examination, conducted by licensed polygraph administrator Mark Teceno, indicated there was more than a 99 percent certainty that Hopkins was telling the truth.

Superior Court Justice Robert Murray disagreed, ruling orally from the bench following a hearing on the motion Friday, according to a court clerk.

Shaw did not return repeated calls and messages Friday, despite having alerted reporters about the hearing earlier in the day. Assistant Attorney General Leane Zainea did not return an email for comment on the ruling.

Lisa Marchese, head of the criminal division at the attorney general’s office, said by phone Friday that the state objected to the introduction of the polygraph test results during Hopkins’ trial.

“There is overwhelming case law in support of the state’s position opposing the defendant’s motion,” Marchese said.

Hopkins called 911 Jan. 12 from her trailer home on North Dixmont Road in Troy, saying her infant son, Jaxson, was unresponsive. The infant was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of the baby’s death was listed as blunt force trauma that included cuts and bruises on the head and skull, rib fractures, and bleeding on the surface of the brain.

She was arrested Jan. 13.

Hopkins originally was charged with knowing or depraved indifference murder, punishable by 25 years to life in prison. She was indicted by a Waldo County grand jury in February on a lesser charge of manslaughter.

Manslaughter is a class A felony, as is a charge of murder, but it carries a lesser penalty. It’s punishable by a period of time in prison not to exceed 30 years. An indictment is not a finding of guilt, but is a determination by the grand jury that there’s enough evidence in a case to proceed with trial.

Shaw conceded in her motion to allow the test results that the Law Court in Maine generally supports the belief that polygraph examinations are not sufficiently reliable to allow the results, or a defendant’s willingness or unwillingness to take the test, as evidence.

But Shaw added in her motion that any decision to exclude polygraph evidence from admission at Hopkins’ trial is not binding in her case for a number of reasons.

In her motion, Shaw states that the court case that initially decided the polygraph question dates to 1954 and standards are not the same ones used by the Law Court today. The motion also states that in those early cases, polygraph tests had not been developed enough so that the result could be considered competent evidence.

Hopkins allegedly told authorities she woke up and found her baby cold, white and “beat to hell.” The infant was pronounced dead at the scene. Hopkins lived with Jaxson and two other sons, ages 6 and 8, who both have autism, she told police.

But Hopkins allegedly also told police she must have “blacked out” and was “so drunk that she did not remember,” saying she had drunk whiskey and ingested the antihistamine drug Benadryl, according to a police affidavit filed with the court.

Hopkins contended in court documents that one or both of her other sons might have killed their infant brother, possibly by crushing the child while rolling over in bed.

After the polygraph tests were administered, Teceno’s results concluded that the data collected from Hopkins “was not likely collected from a person being deceptive.”

According to Shaw’s motion, Hopkins willingly submitted to the examination and stated she did not inflict the injuries on her son.

Shaw’s motion before the court said the results should be admitted at least for the limited purpose of rebutting arguments made by the state and corroborate the defendant’s testimony. Shaw writes that Hopkins repeatedly has denied harming her son in any way and denied the charge during the polygraph, so her denials should be admitted to corroborate her prior statements.

They will not be admitted.

The court document also says that the state’s initial complaint and expected theory in the prosecution of the case centers on Hopkins’ credibility.

“We are shocked that the state is not only continuing to prosecute a woman who has proven her innocence, but is asking that this evidence of her innocence be hidden from the jury,” Shaw said in an email in August. “Because the state is choosing to ignore evidence of Miranda’s innocence, we have been forced to file this motion to ask the judge to admit the evidence at trial.”

MANCHESTER, N.H. — A former Manchester elementary school gym teacher accused of enticing young girls to send him sexually explicit photos has been sentenced to four to eight years in prison.

WMUR-TV reports that Paul Johnson-Yarosevich of Acton, Maine, pleaded guilty Friday to 12 charges of soliciting and distributing the photos. Prosecutors say the former Parker-Varney School employee posed as a teenage girl on Facebook to persuade his victims to send photos.

All five of the victims, who ranged in age from 11 to 13, were in the Manchester school district at the time. One girl’s father told the judge he couldn’t describe the pain of seeing his 11-year-old daughter question her own intelligence because of the acts of a “truly evil individual.”

Johnson-Yarosevich’s sister asked for leniency, calling him a gentle soul.

CLINTON — Clinton police arrested a male juvenile early Saturday afternoon after receiving a report of a stabbing at 1363 Hinckley Road in that town.

The arrest occurred after state police arrived with a search dog named Draco to hunt for the suspect, who is charged with felony aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon, Clinton police Detective Robert McFetridge said at the scene. The home is near Route 23, also known as Canaan Road, about a mile and a half from the Hinckley Bridge in Fairfield.

McFetridge said the victim’s wounds were minor, and that police also were briefly holding a female juvenile for questioning. The identities of both juveniles are being withheld because of their age.

“We had a juvenile that had a bad spell. He attacked an adult male in there,” he said of the single-family mobile home set in the woods, back from the road. “There was a weapon involved, but no serious injuries. We had to call state police for assistance and have a canine to track him.”

The person identified as the victim of the attack is a family member, McFetridge said.

“He did inflict injuries with a knife, but they turned out to be superficial,” McFetridge said. “EMS got here and looked at it.”

He said the juvenile female was with the alleged attacker and was not arrested, despite having been handcuffed briefly by police. Police expect no charges will be brought against the girl.

The boy was taken to the Clinton police station and charged as a juvenile. A juvenile probation officer was called to meet them at the police station and will decide where the suspect will go from there.

Portland police on Saturday declined to discuss details of the attempted kidnapping of an infant at a Hannaford supermarket Friday, citing the ongoing investigation as the reason.

The incident happened shortly after 1 p.m. Friday at the Back Cove Hannaford, when the infant’s father alerted store staff that someone had taken his baby in a shopping cart.

Store officials locked all store exits and announced a “Code Adam” over the store’s loudspeakers, prompting staff to be stationed at doors to check for people trying to leave with a child. The infant was later found unharmed in another part of the store.

Police Lt. Robert Martin said in an email Saturday there were “no updates” on the case to report but that police may discuss it Monday. City spokeswoman Jessica Grondin said in a text message that “the investigation is ongoing and because of that we can’t say more at this time.”

Both Martin and Grondin were emailed specific questions which remained unanswered Saturday, including whether there are any leads on the suspect’s whereabouts, how many officers are working the case and if video of the suspect will be released.

Police Chief Michael Sauschuck, speaking after the incident Friday, declined to go into specifics, except to say “the child was certainly taken from the area where the baby’s father was to another location in the store.” He said the infant was unharmed and never left the store.

Sauschuck said Friday police were looking for a white man in his 30s wearing a yellow shirt and a white hat with an orange brim. He said police were reviewing “video evidence” taken in the store and may release the video depending on how the case develops.

Sauschuck praised Hannaford employees for following the “Code Adam” so well, allowing no one to leave the store until the child was located. It is believed the suspect left the store once doors were opened and business resumed.

A “Code Adam” refers to a child-safety program used by many retailers and businesses around the country. It’s named for Adam Walsh, a 6-year-old who was abducted from a Florida store in 1981 and later found dead.

Hannaford spokesman Eric Blom referred questions about what happened Friday and the investigation to police. But Blom said Hannaford was “very proud of our associates and the way they followed procedures and did their jobs. We feel we have a pretty strong policy in place, and it worked.”
