ARREST

Sunday at 8:44 p.m., Valerie Murphy Lowe, 51, of Augusta, was arrested on a charge of domestic violence assault following a report of a domestic disturbance on Water Street.

SKOWHEGAN — A Skowhegan woman has pleaded guilty to felony theft for prying open a safe belonging to a family member in November and stealing about $22,000 in cash.

Jaclyn Suezanne Rutherford, 28, was sentenced to serve six months in jail to be followed by three years of probation and is ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $5,200, according to court documents. The full sentence handed down in court last week was for three years in prison with all but the six months suspended.

Rutherford was arrested Nov. 23 and charged with being in possession of the stolen cash and a one-way train ticket to Chicago.

Rutherford used a flat-edge crowbar to pry open a safe at a family member’s home on Waterville Road and steal the cash, according to court documents. The money was kept in packets of $1,000 and $2,000 in Bangor Savings Bank envelopes. Police found the damaged safe in a closet and found the crowbar in a bedroom where Rutherford slept in the family home.

Rutherford also pleaded guilty to criminal mischief for damaging the safe.

She was arrested Nov. 23 by the Oakland Police Department on a temporary warrant issued by Skowhegan police in connection with the theft. Rutherford, who had been convicted and fined for theft in Augusta in 2013 and for use of drug paraphernalia in Farmington the same year, already was out on bail when she was arrested Nov. 23.

She was charged Oct. 7 in Skowhegan with assault, violating conditions of release and with obstructing the report of a crime for attacking another member of her family, though not the victims of the theft.

Rutherford used physical force to prevent the victim of the assault from calling police. As she was taken away in handcuffs by police, she allegedly screamed obscenities at the female family member, according to court documents.

“I’m going to kill her,” she allegedly yelled at police. “You can’t keep me forever, and when I get out I’m going for her. You can’t stop me.”

She was released on unsecured bond Oct. 11 on the condition that she commit no new criminal activity. The theft charge — new criminal activity — led to a revocation of bail and an indictment by a Somerset County grand jury in December.

Rutherford also pleaded guilty to charges related to that incident — assault, violating the conditions of release and obstructing the report of a crime. She was sentenced to 30 days in jail for those crimes to be served at the same time as the sentence for theft.

Of the $22,000 allegedly stolen, Rutherford was found in possession of $16,800, which was returned to the victims. She allegedly told police she had given $5,200 to a friend for picking her up the night of the theft and to help the friend pay rent, according to court documents. She has been ordered to reimburse that money within 35 months of her release from jail.

Court documents show Rutherford had no cash on hand and no income when she was arrested. Documents say she can not work because of injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident.

AUGUSTA — A city man who dropped a baseball-size bag of cocaine as he fled from an Augusta police officer after a June 2016 traffic stop was ordered to serve five years in prison for the aggravated drug trafficking charge that resulted.

Donald E. Bowden, 35, was sentenced Tuesday at the Capital Judicial Center. Justice Robert Mullen ordered that term to be served after Bowden finishes a 40-month probation revocation.

The sentencing took place in front of about 15 of Bowden’s family members and friends, several of whom pleaded with the judge to make the sentence concurrent to the probation revocation term imposed earlier this month.

Mullen refused, saying that without a consecutive sentence, Bowden would not be punished for the crime. Mullen also cited the four-year minimum term the Legislature has set for the offense.

“You had 41 grams of cocaine and it’s impossible to escape the fact that you were going to be selling that to people,” Mullen told Bowden. “You of all people should know the havoc drug addiction could wreak on people’s lives.”

Bowden had been on probation for drug convictions from 2002 when he ran from police on June 11, 2016.

Mullen also noted that neither attorney requested probation for Bowden.

“Probation hasn’t worked for Mr. Bowden,” Mullen said. “He’s been given multiple chances to succeed, including (Co-Occurring Disorders Court).”

On Tuesday, the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney, Kate Marshall requested a six-year consecutive sentence, while defense attorney Andrew Dawson argued for a 4.5-year sentence that would run concurrently.

“When Donald is doing well, he’s doing really well,” Dawson said, describing Bowden as a good father and active member of his church and community. “He’s been in a long-term battle against addiction.”

Dawson said Bowden had sought help for his addiction a few days before his arrest, but no treatment beds were available.

“His addiction overrode the choices that he had,” Dawson said.

Bowden himself told the judge he was now thankful for being arrested.

“Jail became my detox, and prison’s going to be my rehabilitation,” Bowden said, dressed in a prison uniform of a blue short-sleeved shirt and jeans.

He told the judge that because of his addiction, he missed both his daughters’ graduations and will miss his son’s.

“It’s hard to know that I’m giving away years and years of my life, and it’s affecting many people,” Bowden said.

One of Bowden’s fellow church members, Larry Mason, told the judge that Bowden showed courage in giving testimony at the church about his addiction.

“I hope you would see he’s not a lost cause,” Mason said.

Bowden’s wife said that while Bowden always has been there for his children, “addiction got the best of him.”

Marshall said Bowden had plenty of resources to aid him, including the people who came to court Tuesday to support him, “but he resorted to selling instead of getting additional help.”

She said a consecutive sentence was appropriate because of the seriousness of the conduct and Bowden’s criminal history.

Bowden pleaded guilty Jan. 4, 2017, in front of Mullen.

AUGUSTA — For starting a fire that destroyed a Gardiner camper trailer a family was living in, Joseph P. Manganella, was sentenced Thursday to an initial three years behind bars.

A judge at the Capital Judicial Center imposed an eight-year sentence, with three years to be served initially and the remainder suspended, and three years’ probation.

The blaze occurred July 5, 2016, at the home of Eric and Kristie Baker and their three children, ages 7, 5, and 8 months at the time. The Bakers, who were building a cabin on the property, were not at home at the time of the fire.

They did not attend Tuesday’s sentencing hearing.

Manganella, 35, of Augusta and formerly of Windsor, pleaded guilty Jan. 4 to arson in connection with that fire.

Witnesses reported seeing a man — later identified as Manganella — walking away from the Blueberry Hill Lane fire.

He formerly worked for the Bakers’ roofing company and told Justice Robert Mullen on Tuesday that he had gone there looking for some of his things.

“I used my lighter as a light, and it caught the bed on fire,” Manganella said.

His attorney, Lisa Whittier, said, “Mr. Manganella was under the influence of drugs. He went into the trailer, which was only occupied by a dog. He put a lighter underneath bedding in a bed. It went up very quickly. He walked away and took the dog with him.”

Investigators said previously the fire was set to cover up a theft of tools that Manganella later attempted to sell.

Conditions of Manganella’s probation include a ban on the use or possession of illegal drugs and incendiary devices.

He also was ordered to pay restitution $2,500 for the benefit of the victims.

Manganella was arrested as he walked into the courtroom Tuesday on a charge of violating a protective order for allegedly having contact with a person at the courthouse. Attorneys indicated that charge would be handled Wednesday at the hearing for others in custody.

The prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Francis Griffin, said Manganella had no prior felony record and had spent at most 75 days in jail previously.

Two unidentified men remained on the loose Tuesday after reportedly bursting into a home over the weekend in Palmyra while dressed in camouflage clothing and assaulting and robbing the homeowner.

Maine State Police Cpl. Chris Carr said the home invasion happened just after 7 p.m. Saturday on Warren Hill Road. Carr said the men assaulted the male homeowner and took an undisclosed amount of cash, along with some prescription drugs and left on foot.

The homeowner suffered minor injuries and was taken to Sebasticook Valley Hospital in Pittsfield, where he was treated and released. It is not known if a weapon was displayed in the attack.

Carr said the incident remains under investigation. He said Maine State Police were assisted at the scene by deputies from the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office. Sebasticook Valley Ambulance also responded.

The men involved in the attack were described as being about 5 feet, 10 inches to 6 feet tall and of medium build. Carr said the motive in the home invasion is unknown. He said the men might have gotten into a vehicle that was parked a short way up the road.

A Jefferson man was arrested Tuesday morning on a charge of possessing sexually explicit material.

Vincent Maltese, 51, was taken to Two Bridges Jail in Wiscasset, where he posted bail and then was freed, according to a news release from Maine State Police spokesman Stephen McCausland.

Maltese’s next court date is April 27 in Lincoln County.

According to McCausland, investigators with the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit, acting on a tip, reviewed Maltese’s computer and electronic devices at his home and reported finding “hundreds of images of child porn.” McCausland said the equipment was seized and taken for further analysis at the Computer Crimes Unit’s laboratory in Vassalboro.

An Augusta man who allegedly stole seafood, alcohol, a Bose radio and money from a Whitefield restaurant where he used to work was arrested Tuesday on charges of burglary and violating conditions of release.

The items — including a cash register, $200 in cash, a checkbook, credit cards, the radio and numerous drinks and food items — were reported stolen from Aunt Gin’s restaurant on Augusta Road in Whitefield, according to a Wednesday news release from Sgt. Ronald Rollins, of the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

Police charged John F. Dumas, 51, with the burglary after discovering many of the stolen items at his home on Divided Road in Augusta, Rollins said. They took Dumas to Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset without incident.

Dumas told investigating deputies that he had stolen the items and accused the owners of Aunt Gin’s of denying his unemployment benefits, Rollins said.

Dumas used to work at Aunt Gin’s as a chef, and he is also a cousin of one of its co-owners, Steven Dumas.

But Steven Dumas and another co-owner, Wyatt Shorey, said Dumas left his job in early November and only recently applied to the state of Maine for unemployment benefits — then blamed them when his application was unsuccessful.

“They denied him because he walked out (on the job),” Shorey said. “He was very angry, but we have no say over that. This really kind of threw us. We really didn’t think he would go this far. We expected legal trouble, maybe him getting a lawyer, but neither of us expected this.”

Police were able to recover most of the missing items, but not the credit card or the checkbook, which they say Dumas destroyed. The food in his possession included scallops, shrimp, corn, ribeye steak and hamburger, as well as bottles of alcohol, Rollins said.

The total value of the theft was $1,500 to $2,000, Shorey said.

The restaurateurs said they discovered the break-in when they arrived at work Tuesday morning.

They thought someone had broken through the back door the night before, and they also noticed fresh snowmobile tracks leading up to that door. John Dumas frequently traveled from his home in Augusta to the Whitefield restaurant using a snowmobile and trails, Shorey said.

Dumas was out on bail for a conviction in October 2016 on charges of operating under the influence and operating after revocation, and police also charged him with violating conditions of release, Rollins said.

Police seized the snowmobile that they say Dumas used, as well as a firearm, which Dumas was not allowed to possess because he is a convicted felon, Rollins said.

The Maine Warden Service and the Augusta Police Department assisted with the investigation, and more charges may be filed, depending on the outcome of an ongoing investigation, according to Rollins.

AUGUSTA — A Winthrop man must pay $1,616.72 for medical bills after his dog Buster bit a young boy on Morton Street in Winthrop.

Steven Long, 49, was ordered to pay that amount of restitution — the insurance deductible amount — after a judge found Long had kept a dangerous dog on April 17, 2016, the day the bite occurred. Long was ordered to pay $250 for that civil violation.

The order followed a half-day bench trial Wednesday at the Capital Judicial Center.

At the trial, Long, who represented himself, introduced into evidence photos of a smiling young child with one hand on the dog’s head as the boy is being held by a woman.

The prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Alisa Ross, introduced into evidence a copy of a photo of a different child in a car seat — the one injured by the dog — with wounds evident on the boy’s bottom lip and nose.

As part of the judgment, Long was ordered to keep Buster “securely muzzled, restricted by a tether not more than 3 feet in length with a minimum tensile strength of 300 pounds and under the direct control of the dog’s owner or keeper whenever the dog is off the owner’s or keeper’s premises.”

The defendant also introduced as evidence a letter from his landlord that said she had never seen Long’s dog being aggressive.

Long also was found to have failed to vaccinate the dog against rabies and fined $100 for that offense. However, that fine was suspended entirely.

Included in the court’s file is a copy of a one-year rabies vaccination for 7-year-old Buster, whose predominant breed is listed as a “pit bull,” that was administered by a veterinarian on May 1, 2016.

AUGUSTA — A city woman pleaded guilty to drug trafficking Thursday in a case in which the prosecutor said she allowed her home to be used as a base for out-of-state drug dealers.

Clover Sue Baxter, 29, of Augusta, was sentenced to 30 months in prison after pleading guilty to two charges of unlawful trafficking in heroin April 19-20, 2016, in Augusta.

In exchange for her pleas, three other unlawful trafficking charges and a criminal conspiracy charge, all dated March 19-April 26, 2016, in Augusta, were dismissed.

The prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Kate Marshall, said drug dealers from New York sold drugs from Baxter’s apartment.

Baxter was arrested April 26, 2016, when police executed a search warrant at Baxter’s Middle Street home.

Arrested the same day at Baxter’s residence was Charles Evans, now 26, of Rochester, New York.

An affidavit by Augusta police Officer Matthew Estes says Evans was in the bedroom of Clover Sue Baxter’s apartment, and Baxter told police she allowed men from New York to use her apartment to sell drugs and she got heroin for doing so.

During the raid, police reported finding three bags of heroin packaged for individual resale as well as a ledger, packaging materials and drug paraphernalia. The affidavit says police conducted a controlled buy, using a confidential informant to obtain crack cocaine and heroin from Evans via Baxter and her boyfriend, Leo C. Dyer IV, now 32, of Augusta. Dyer also pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges and is awaiting sentencing.

Evans pleaded guilty previously and was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Also on Thursday, Baxter admitted to criminal forfeiture of $3,617 cash seized from her apartment when the search warrant was executed.

She also pleaded guilty to two charges of violating conditions of release from July 2, 2016, and Oct. 28, 2016, when she was under house arrest. She was sentenced to 60 days on each of those, to be served concurrently with the 30-month sentence.

Baxter was fined $400 on the drug conviction.

She also admitted violating conditions of supervised release for a 2016 assault conviction and was ordered to serve the 180 days that had been suspended.

Baxter was represented at Thursday’s hearing by attorney Lisa Whittier.

SKOWHEGAN — A Cornville woman will spend the next year in jail and must register as a sex offender for the next 25 years after pleading guilty to a charge of sexual abuse of a minor.

Jessica Lynn Wells, 30, was sentenced Wednesday in Skowhegan Unified Court to serve five years in prison, with all but one year suspended, after being convicted of the class C felony charge. She also must serve three years of probation once she is released and register as a sex offender.

Wells was arrested in August initially on two charges — gross sexual assault, class B; and sexual abuse of a minor. The victim was a 14-year-old boy for whose long-term care Wells was partly responsible. The gross sexual assault charge later was dismissed.

The incident happened July 13. Police were first alerted to the assault on July 29 and investigated. The boy’s mother reportedly received a text message from him and contacted authorities.

A caseworker with the state Department of Health and Human Services conducted interviews in Skowhegan, according to court documents. A police officer sat in on the DHHS interviews, of which audio recording were made, and in which Wells admitted to the crime. Wells reportedly said she was the adult and should have said “no” to contact with the boy. There also were other text messages, which police said Wells asked the boy to delete, saying otherwise she would go to jail.

According to court documents, Wells told authorities that “something happened between (her) and (the boy) that wasn’t supposed to.” She said it was a “one-time mistake” for which she took full responsibility.

She must register as a Tier II sex offender. There are three tiers, with Tier II being the middle designation based on the severity of the crime. A Tier I sex offender must register for life, a Tier II offender registers for 25 years and a Tier III offender registers for 10 years.

Under the Maine Sex Offender Registration Act, Wells must verify her personal information with a local law enforcement agency every 180 days after she is released from prison. The information must include a passport photo.

She is to have no contact with the victim or any person under the age of 18 and stay away from “safe zones,” such schools and playgrounds.

Wells began her sentence Wednesday. She will serve it at the Maine Correctional Center in Windham.

WATERVILLE — Police arrested two men after seizing thousands of dollars in crack cocaine during a drug raid on Spruce Street Wednesday afternoon.

The raid at an apartment at 35 Spruce St. was the result of a four-month-long investigation by Detective Duane Cloutier, according to Detective Sgt. Lincoln Ryder of the Waterville Police Department. While executing a search warrant at the apartment, police found 40 grams of crack cocaine, $4,200 in cash, and drug paraphernalia, such as digital scales, pans and packaging.

The amount of crack cocaine found has a street value of about $6,000, Ryder said.

During the investigation, police allege they conducted multiple controlled buys from Alex I. Singleton, which led to the raid at his apartment, Ryder said.

Singleton, 36, was arrested during the raid on four charges of aggravated trafficking of scheduled W drugs and one charge of criminal conspiracy, as police believe more people are involved in the trafficking and expect to make more arrests, Ryder said. The drug trafficking charges are aggravated because the house on Spruce Street is 610 feet from the George J. Mitchell School and 330 feet from the park Dave’s Place, both designated safe zones in the city.

Drug offenses within 1,000 feet of safe zones are automatically elevated.

Singleton is being held at the Kennebec County jail on $60,000 single surety bail for the four Class A drug charges, meaning $60,000 worth of property must be put up as bail and not cash, as well as $5,000 single surety bail for the Class B charge of criminal conspiracy.

Police also arrested Stanley Fletcher, 28, of Watkins Street in Brooklyn, New York, on a charge of aggravated trafficking of scheduled drugs, a Class A crime, and falsifying physical evidence, a Class D crime. Fletcher was charged with the lower class crime after police allegedly found him trying to flush the crack cocaine down the toilet during the raid, Ryder said. He is being held on a total single surety bail of $25,000.

The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and Oakland Police Department assisted in executing the search warrant.

WATERVILLE — A man robbed a city convenience store this past weekend, fled the state and remains on the loose, police said Thursday.

The man forced his way into the Mobil On-the-Run gas station convenience store at 94 Pleasant St. at 5:47 a.m. Saturday while the manager was preparing to open the store, according to Detective Sgt. Lincoln Ryder.

Detective Dave Caron identified the man as Emmanual Hurtado, 25, who had been living in Waterville. Ryder said he was identified partially because he was “known to us” and the police have had “multiple contacts” with him previously.

Hurtado allegedly stole merchandise and an undisclosed amount of cash from the store before fleeing on foot, Ryder said. He did not show a weapon or threaten the store manager.

Maine State Police used a dog to track Hurtado but couldn’t find him, Ryder said. Police now think he has fled out of the state, though they don’t know where.

Hurtado is wanted on a warrant for class A robbery, a felony punishable by up to 30 years in jail and a fine of up to $50,000.

People with further information about the incident or Hurtado’s whereabouts are encouraged to call the Waterville Police Department at 680-4700 and ask for Caron.

Litchfield voters approved a 180-day moratorium on the establishment of any recreational marijuana businesses Wednesday night at a special town meeting, but a few residents complained that local officials did not advertise the meeting adequately and almost held a vote on the moratorium last week without giving public notice.

The marijuana law that Maine voters passed in November already includes a nine-month delay to allow state lawmakers time to create regulations for the sale of the drug, and last week Gov. Paul LePage signed into law a three-month extension of that moratorium.

But members of the Litchfield Planning Board proposed the local moratorium to ensure they’ll have time to draft appropriate zoning regulations, particularly given some of the uncertainty about when the state rules will be complete, said Paul Hempstead, chairman of the Planning Board, at the Wednesday meeting.

Attendees at the town meeting discussed the merits and drawbacks of the proposed moratorium for about 45 minutes before passing it in a 21-16 vote.

In November, Litchfield narrowly voted against — in a 1,005-1,053 vote — the citizen referendum that legalized the possession of up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana by Maine adults and eventually will authorize the sale of recreational marijuana.

Some attendees at the Wednesday night meeting suggested the moratorium was unnecessary, particularly given the statewide moratorium already in effect. They also expressed concern about a clause in the moratorium that seemed to suggest it would ban the sale of rolling papers at local stores. Like those who smoke marijuana, many tobacco smokers make their own cigarettes with rolling papers.

“Why go through all this foolishness?” resident Elton Danforth said. “I’m seeing something in here where you can’t buy rolling papers. Am I going to need to leave town to buy my rolling papers?”

But officials told Danforth that the language banning the sale of those products would not apply to existing businesses.

According to Hempstead, the moratorium would ensure that anyone eventually wanting to start a recreational marijuana business in Litchfield would receive equal treatment by the Planning Board. He said that he wasn’t sure whether the statewide moratorium would apply to the marijuana growing facilities — as opposed to retail facilities and social clubs — that are allowed by the new law.

“I’d like to try to make sure that when the (statewide) moratorium is up in one year, that there isn’t some big company from out of state that’s come in, that’s already given us an application for a permit that may start to trigger timetables,” Hempstead said. “If somebody gives us an application, it starts a timetable (in which) we’re supposed to act on it in a certain amount of time. I don’t know how the state moratorium affects that. I’m more comfortable with our own version of it. If there are people who want to get growing barns, that puts everyone on the same starting point.”

Many other Maine towns and cities have considered or already have passed their own marijuana moratoriums. Litchfield Town Manager Trudy Lamoreau said she obtained the language for the one that was approved Wednesday from the Maine Municipal Association.

Besides the concerns that some meeting attendees raised about the merits of the moratorium, they also questioned Lamoreau and Mark Russell, chairman of the selectmen, about why the meeting was not advertised widely ahead of time.

Lamoreau told them that this week’s meeting was advertised on printed notices that were posted around town and on the town website, but she added that the town website crashed Wednesday. It was still down on Thursday. She also said that the meeting was advertised in this month’s issue of the community newsletter the Sodalite, but several attendees on Wednesday said it was not.

“We must have missed the Sodalite deadline,” Russell said.

Residents also questioned Russell about a selectmen’s meeting last week in which a vote on the marijuana moratorium originally had been scheduled to take place.

One man, who did not identify himself, asked Russell what would prevent selectmen from holding any “unofficial meetings” from happening in the future; but Russell responded, “I’m not sure I understand what you’re talking about.”

After the meeting, though, Russell said that selectmen originally had scheduled the vote on the marijuana moratorium for last week, but that he called off the vote after realizing it had not been advertised publicly, as is required by law. He then rescheduled it for this week.

“Originally this was scheduled for the second selectmen’s meeting in January,” Lamoreau said. “But I was sick for a week, unfortunately. The warrant didn’t get posted, so it wasn’t a secret meeting. It wasn’t a hidden meeting. Unfortunately, I got sick and it didn’t get done. I am the acting clerk. I take full responsibility for that.”

But one resident wasn’t satisfied with that explanation.

“They should have stepped up and did it for (Lamoreau),” said Steven Lemieux, who attended last week’s meeting and spoke to Russell about the lack of public notice. “They had two weeks. That’s not a reason or an excuse, as (Russell) should have taken leadership and said we need to post this by law.”
