SUMMONS

IN WATERVILLE, Wednesday at 8:56 p.m., Richard John Stoner, 39, of Manheim, Pennsylvania, was summoned on a charge of operating with a suspended or revoked license.

A Windham lawyer has been suspended from practicing law following his plea of guilty to accessing child pornography.

Matthew J. Miller was suspended March 1 by order of Maine Supreme Court Justice Thomas E. Humphrey.

Miller pleaded guilty on Dec. 19, 2017 to a federal charge of accessing with intent to view child pornography.

A homeless man from the Portland area has been barred from stepping foot on the Smiling Hill Farm property following the killing of a pregnant goat in February.

Police say the goat was shot by an arrow fired from a crossbow.

A judge in Cumberland County District Court approved a one-year protection-from-harassment order filed by Smiling Hill Farm against Daniel J. Arnold, 40.

Arnold has not been charged with killing the Toggenburg goat named Ava. However, police investigated Arnold in connection with the crime, and a witness reported to investigators seeing Arnold walking out of the woods around the time of the killing, carrying a crossbow, according to court records.

Arnold had also been reported to have killed animals needlessly before, according to an earlier criminal case.

The goat was shot sometime overnight on Feb. 17-18 during a snowstorm, according to police. Its body was discovered the next morning during feeding.

Game wardens determined that Ava was killed by a crossbow bolt, the short arrows that a crossbow fires, according to court records.

While investigating the goat’s death, officers from Westbrook and Scarborough police received a tip that Arnold had been seen walking out of the woods with a crossbow on Feb. 17.

Scarborough police, in cooperation with Westbrook officers, located Arnold at a campsite near the Stroudwater River off Cardinal Street, about 1.7 miles from Smiling Hill Farm, according to court records.

After police found Arnold, he showed them his crossbow, but he denied killing the goat and, despite the witness report, said he didn’t have the weapon with him that night.

“Arnold advised that he was walking toward Portland on trails through the woods with just his backpack,” wrote Scarborough police officer Isaiah Jones in a report. “He advised he did not kill a goat and he did not know where Smiling Hill Farm was located.”

Although police did not have enough evidence to charge him with the goat’s death, he was arrested for possessing the crossbow. Arnold was on probation from a May 24, 2017, conviction for aggravated assault and criminal threatening, and was not supposed to have any dangerous weapons.

Arnold was arrested Feb. 23 on the probation violation, and remains in Cumberland County Jail in Portland. He declined to be interviewed Thursday.

The aggravated assault charge stemmed from an incident in Portland’s Bayside neighborhood Aug. 26, 2016, when Arnold and another man, Michael Wilbur, began to argue near Cedar Street, and Arnold brandished a pellet gun and a knife, according to court records. Wilbur threw a punch but was stabbed by Arnold and required stitches, according to police reports.

Wilbur told police that he and Arnold had been at odds with each other ever since Wilbur and a group of other people he was living with kicked Arnold out of another wooded campsite a few years earlier.

“Dan and I don’t get along because we all lived in the woods behind the Pine Tree Shopping Center a few years ago, maybe two,” Wilbur wrote in the police report. “I watched Dan shoot and kill animals with a pellet rifle and I did not like it. He would kill them for no reason. I kicked Dan out of his campsite and we have always had bad blood since then.”

Arnold’s criminal history in Maine dates to 2009, and includes multiple convictions on weapons charges and assault, according to the State Bureau of Information.

Smiling Hill Farm is located off Route 22, also known as County Road. It raises dairy cows and offers a wide selection of dairy products to consumers, including milk, ice cream, cheese and yogurt. During the winter, the farm offers more than 25 kilometers of groomed cross-country ski trails. It also operates a seasonal barnyard animal exhibit.

The farm is so large that parts of it lie in Scarborough, Westbrook and Gorham. It was founded in 1720 by the Knight family and was known for years as the Knight Farm before being renamed Smiling Hill Farm in 1974.

Jeremy Doughty Franklin County Detention Center photo

FARMINGTON — A local man is accused of entering a garage on Bailey Hill Road looking for marijuana to steal, police officer Jesse Clement said Thursday.

Clement said he arrested Jeremy Doughty, 20, of Farmington on a charge of felony burglary. He was being held Thursday afternoon at the Franklin County jail on $1,000 cash bail.

There was no marijuana in the garage, police said.

The homeowner was sleeping in living quarters above his garage when he heard the garage door open at about 5 a.m. Thursday, Clement said. The man investigated and saw a thin man duck behind a trailer in the garage. As the owner walked closer, the man ran off.

Officer Kevin Lemay talked to the owner, and later Clement and Sgt. Edward Hastings looked for evidence and discovered footprints outside.

The owner provided the name of a possible suspect, Clement said. Police went to the suspect’s residence on Farmington Falls Road and noticed the same footprints that were at the scene, he said.

Police talked to the suspect, who said he had been asleep all night. Clement said he noticed a pair of shoes, asked who they belonged to and was told they belonged to a boyfriend of a family member.

But after more questioning, Doughty confessed to entering the garage in search of marijuana to steal, Clement said.

WARREN — Two women from New York and a Warren man are behind bars after police arrested them Thursday evening on charges of dealing crack and powdered cocaine.

Raquel Renfro, 18, of Rochester, N.Y. and Shaundrea Fuller, 20, of Rochester, N.Y. were charged with aggravated trafficking in drugs, according to paperwork filed in Knox County Unified Court.

Joseph Malburg, 51, of Warren, was charged with trafficking in drugs.

All three were taken to the Knox County Jail in Rockland. Bail for Renfro and Fuller was set at $50,000 cash. Malburg’s bail was set at $2,500 cash.

Each of the suspects are scheduled to make their initial appearance in court Friday afternoon, March 16.

The three were arrested at Malberg’s residence on Route 1 in Warren near the Waldoboro town line, according to Maine Drug Enforcement Agency Supervisory Agent James Pease.

Shaundrea Fuller and Raquel Renfro had been staying for the last three to four weeks at local motels and residences in Knox and Lincoln counties where they would sell crack cocaine to local users, according to a statement from Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Public Safety Department. Undercover agents made several purchases of crack cocaine from the two during the investigation.

A search of Malburg’s residence was done Thursday evening. Fifty-five grams of crack cocaine was seized, Pease said. Half of the drug was packaged for resale. Ten grams of powdered cocaine was also seized, he said.

The charges were aggravated because of the amount of drugs.

Agents, assisted by the Knox County Sheriff’s Office, also recovered $1,000 in cash. Some of the money recovered was paid to the suspects by an undercover individual as part of a controlled drug buy.

Also assisting in the investigation were the Rockport and Waldoboro police departments.

FRIENDSHIP — The Knox County Sheriff’s Office is investigating reports of shots being fired into homes in Cushing and Friendship.

The reports came in early Friday morning.

“We are asking everyone, regardless of town, to be alert to unusual happenings and report things that are unusual,” Patrol Administrator Patrick Polky said in a statement.

“Please ensure you lock your vehicles when unattended and to lock your homes when unattended or sleeping,” the statement said.

Anyone with information about the shots fired is encouraged to contact Detective Donald Murray at 594-0429, extension 723.

SUMMONS

IN WINSLOW, Thursday at 9:14 a.m., Keith A. Dickey, 41, of Vassalboro, was summoned on a charge of operating while license suspended or revoked, with priors.

In a starkly worded opinion, a federal appeals court Friday rejected the appeal of a once-prominent South Portland dermatologist on charges of tax evasion, writing illegal prescriptions and health care fraud.

Joel Sabean was convicted in November 2016 in U.S. District Court in Portland after a lurid trial that included accusations of years of sexual abuse of a family member. Prosecutors said that Sabean sent the woman more than $2.3 million over five years, in part to keep her quiet about the sexual abuse and to ensure that the woman would continue sending Sabean explicit emails and pictures.

“This case, which reads like an anthology of pain, pathos, and personal degradation, paints a grim picture of the human condition,” Justice Bruce Selya of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in the 3-0 decision. But he went on to say the conviction was upheld because the record of the trial was “conspicuously free from prejudicial error.”

Sabean was sentenced to two years in prison, which was below federal sentencing guidelines. The judge indicated that he took into account physical and mental health problems of Sabean, 71, and the fact that his wife has been bed-ridden for years.

Sabean and the family member claimed that the millions he sent the woman were for medical expenses, which Sabean deducted from his taxes. He is also accused of writing dozens of prescriptions for the woman, who was not his patient, and health care fraud for making out some of the prescriptions in Sabean’s wife’s name, even though they were dispensed to the woman in Florida, with insurance picking up part of the cost.

The woman and Sabean claimed that he sent her the money to pay for her treatment for cancer, amputated limbs, “temporary brain death” and other ailments, but the woman actually spent the money on drugs and gambling.

Sabean’s lawyers appealed his conviction, saying the introduction of the sexual abuse allegations prejudiced the jury and should not have been allowed in a case that was primarily financial at its core. They also said an audiotape of the woman’s testimony in an unrelated Florida case should not have been excluded because it showed her penchant for lying. But the appeals court rejected those arguments and others.

“The grim picture, fully developed, reveals that the defendant was fairly tried and lawfully convicted,” Selya’s opinion concluded.

SUMMONSES

IN AUGUSTA, Thursday at 12:43 p.m., Maurice Harrington, 61, of Augusta, was summoned on a charge of assault on Medical Center Parkway.

IN MANCHESTER, Friday, a 19-year-old man from Belgrade and 19-year-old man from Manchester were summoned on one charge each of sale or use of drug paraphernalia.

AUGUSTA — An Eastport man found not criminally responsible last June for manslaughter won a judge’s approval Friday to be out of Riverview Psychiatric Center and in the community for up to six hours, as long as he has one-to-one supervision by a Riverview worker.

Hazen McDugald, 41, sat quietly with his attorney as both his treating psychiatrist and a psychologist with the State Forensic Service agreed that being off hospital grounds would be therapeutic for him.

At the conclusion of the hearing Friday in the Capital Judicial Center, Justice Joyce Wheeler said she concluded that granting the petition for modified release for McDugald “can be undertaken without risk to community.”

She also addressed McDugald directly, warning him that the privilege can be revoked if anything goes wrong and that the court, the prosecutor’s office and others are notified within 48 hours if any violations occur.

Wheeler said McDugald seemed to be particularly attentive to what was happening during the hearing.

“I’m assuming you get it,” she said.

“Yep,” McDugald said from his seat.

He did not testify. Generally those seeking changes do not testify at hearings on petitions for changes in the conditions under which they are held. This is the first time he has petitioned the court for such changes. Those found not criminally responsible for offenses are permitted to file petitions for changes at six-month intervals.

McDugald was found not criminally responsible for both manslaughter in the September 2015 death of Maurice Harris, 75, in Eastport and for aggravated assault in a February 2016 attack on a corrections officer at the Washington County jail.

He was committed to the custody of the commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services and placed at Riverview for treatment.

Dr. Mary Tibbetts, a staff psychiatrist at Riverview, testified Friday that McDugald was one of the 12 patients she manages and that she encounters him almost daily as well as meeting with him weekly.

In response to questions by McDugald’s attorney, Harold Hainke, Tibbetts said McDugald’s current diagnosis is “a major depressive disorder with psychotic features” and possible schizoaffective disorder.

“It’s a very interesting and tragic case,” Tibbetts said, noting that McDugald had a good upbringing and worked all his life. She said problems developed after a 1,200-pound block was dropped on him accidentally by the owner of a fishing boat he was working on, and that over the next 10 years he abused substances, largely opiates.

She said he had spent two weeks in a cold-turkey detoxification program in 2015, and then five months later attacked his father because he feared his father was plotting against him.

McDugald was found guilty in that incident and spent 55 days in jail but did not receive mental health treatment, she said.

Tibbetts said she had adjusted McDugald’s medication regimen recently because she felt his depression was “undertreated” and that she has seen improvement. She also said she has not seen any psychotic symptoms.

Tibbetts told the judge, “We would incrementalize his privileges. We would start low and go slow.”

Nadir Behrem, a psychologist with the State Forensic Service, which evaluates patients for the court, testified that McDugal had the “delusional belief that he had to kill victims under orders of the intelligence community or be killed himself.”

Behrem said that with the supervision recommended, “being able to be in community is a good step” for McDugald and would “put him on path to becoming more independent in the future.”

Wheeler said, “I think it sounds like he’s made a lot of progress” and complimented Tibbetts for her treatment of McDugald and for making the medication adjustments to support his going out in the community with eyes-on supervision.

Assistant Attorney General Laura Yustak questioned the witnesses on behalf of the state and told Wheeler that the testimony provides additional basis for the court’s decision.

Wheeler also had an institutional report prepared by McDugald’s treatment team and the Behrem’s report. Both documents remain under seal.

Nicholas Morin, 29, was charged on Friday with assault on an officer and was being held at the York County Jail on $10,000 bail.

King said the deputies were escorting the woman to her Beaver Dam Road home in Waterboro on Thursday when they discovered Morin had barricaded the door and yelled out at them that he had a gun. They took cover and the deputy persuaded Morin to come out peacefully.

“After a short while, the highly agitated man did surrender,” King said in a statement, adding that Morin did not have a firearm.

When he was being taken into custody, Morin resisted arrest and head-butted a deputy, injuring the deputy’s nose, King said. Morin then bit another deputy on the leg, the sheriff said.

AUGUSTA — Finding a local nonprofit group willing to take his volunteer help proved daunting for Darel A. Smith II, 30, of Augusta.

In February 2017 at the Capital Judicial Center, Smith accepted a deferred disposition deal that involved his pleading guilty to operating after suspension and agreeing to fulfill a number of requirements over the next 12 months. If he was successful, the charge would be dismissed. He decided this arrangement was best.

In February, Smith was back at the courthouse with everything in order, and the state dismissed the charge.

But he told two assistant district attorneys separately about how he ran into a large stumbling block when he tried to find an agency that would allow him to do his 40 hours of public service.

“I was astonished,” Smith said. “I really was. The hoops you have to go through, you find it very difficult.”

He had started looking almost immediately last winter, calling the Kennebec Valley Humane Society, Lithgow Public Library, the Kennebec Valley YMCA, the Baptist and Pentecostal churches, the Maine Veterans’ Home, and the Augusta Food Bank, among several other obvious candidates.

“All of these places you had to fill out an application, for one thing, and (for some) you had to pass a criminal background check and grant them permission to open any (Department of Health & Human Services) and child protective cases that were against you in order to volunteer,” Smith said.

He had some success with a group that shovels snow for people in Augusta, but added that if you didn’t have an “in” already, it was tough to arrange to volunteer with any group.

In the end, he went back to his roots, contacting friends who operate Cottontail Cottage Rabbit Rescue in Lamoine, some two hours away in the Down East area. “It’s a rabbit habitat for rescue rabbits,” said Smith, who is originally from Ellsworth.

He built enclosures for the animals and insulated those structures to make sure the animals could use them in winter. He had documentation on letterhead of his 42 hours of volunteer work there.

“It was fun,” he said last week. “I never really had any experience working with rabbits in particular. I learned a lot; that is kind of the big thing out of it.”

Deferred dispositions, available under Maine law since about 2003, require a defendant to plead guilty and meet court-ordered requirements over a fixed time period. The penalty for the guilty plea is postponed, and among those requirements is one that “the person refrain from criminal conduct.”

The law also states that conditions of the deferment can be modified by the court “if a person cannot meet a deferment requirement.”

DISTRICT ATTORNEY COMPILES LIST

As Smith waited in the courtroom to see his charge dismissed, another man talked to the same prosecutors about how difficult it was to do community service.

That person had paperwork saying he put in 80 to 90 hours of volunteer work at the home of a friend’s grandmother. The defendant said the woman was disabled. He had her phone number in case prosecutors wanted to call her.

Assistant District Attorney Alisa Ross first asked if he was paid for the work, and he told her he wasn’t. Then she told him that while it was unusual and that volunteering with organizations was preferred, she would accept it, and his charge was dismissed as well. Smith said he was pleased to see that.

Another defendant told a judge a month or so earlier that she was unable to find volunteer work because she had no driver’s license. She was willing to accept her conviction for a misdemeanor offense.

After asking her a series of questions, the judge told her to try again and seek hours at the Litchfield Food Bank, which was housed in a church near her home.

Those defendants were not alone. Doing community service to avoid a criminal conviction for a relatively minor offense is not as easy as it sounds, especially if defendants decide to resolve their cases themselves.

“In the majority of cases where an individual is required to complete community service, people have difficulty finding agencies that are going to allow them to do that,” said attorney Scott Hess, who represents a number of defendants in Kennebec County. “I tell my clients to document their attempts the best they can, and I try to provide them with a number of organizations that will work with people to complete their community service.”

In response to a reporter’s inquiries about that difficulty, the Kennebec County District Attorney’s Office placed 100 phone calls to agencies last week and now has a list of 15 groups in Augusta, Chelsea, Searsport and Waterville who will take those volunteers. “The question enabled us to produce a far better piece of information,” said Maeghan Maloney, district attorney in Kennebec and Somerset counties.

That list will continue to be updated as more information comes in. Previously, defendants received a photocopied brochure from Augusta District Court that listed 11 nonprofit organizations willing to take people who needed to do public service, but that list had not been revised for almost a decade.

The Kennebec County District Attorney’s Office has about 500 people a year on deferred dispositions, which are generally for 12 months but can be for as short as six months or as long as two years. Of the 160 people whose deferred disposition cases were resolved in 2017, about 80 percent were successful, according to a report prepared by the office. In Somerset County, which is also in Maloney’s district, 194 people were on deferred disposition in 2017. Of the 27 cases resolved that year, 16 of them were reported as successful.

Across the state, 4,211 deferred dispositions were ordered in cases, according to figures compiled by the Maine Judicial Branch.

The deferrals are mostly for traffic crimes and other misdemeanor offenses such as theft. Maloney said people charged with more serious offenses and those who have been convicted of sex crimes, for instance, are not offered deferred dispositions. Deferred dispositions also are used in cases involving defendants ages 18 to 20. In most of those cases in Kennebec County, for instance, the defendants complete the 12-hour PRIME for Life Risk Reduction Class “for people who have made unhealthy choices about substance abuse: alcohol and other drugs.” That program does not include a community service component.

The predominant type of instance in which community service is ordered is a pending charge of operating under the influence, theft or operating after suspension, Maloney said.

In the case of a drunken-driving charge in Kennebec County, the defendant usually pleads guilty to a charge of driving to endanger at the end of the deferred disposition period rather than having the charge dismissed.

People on deferred disposition also pay a monthly supervision fee, $10 to $25, to the district attorney’s office. The Kennebec County office took in $77,790.55 in deferred disposition fees in 2017; Maloney said defendants in Somerset County paid $17,569 in supervision fees in 2017.

Maloney said that in some special circumstances, she will waive a supervision fee, particularly if defendants are paying restitution, and the office will extend the time period if people need to complete public service.

“We want people to be successful. Even when they don’t get it in on time or need more time to pay, it’s acceptable,” she said. “We try to accommodate them.”

Maloney has accepted defendants’ volunteer work with individuals as well.

“I have heard defendants say, ‘Is it OK that I helped out my mother and grandmother?'” She says yes.

Deferred dispositions are used across the state.

“I do think it’s a very successful thing or a mechanism that we use to try to get someone to contribute back to the community and still be able to avoid the consequences of a conviction,” said Andrew Robinson, district attorney for Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties.

Jonathan Liberman, district attorney for Knox, Lincoln, Sagadahoc and Waldo counties, said defendants have told him they have problems finding agencies willing to accept them as volunteers..

“Most of the time, they find a place to do the work.” He added, “If they’re on a deferred, they pretty motivated to get that done.”

He added, “A good thing about the deferred is acceptance of responsibility upfront with a guilty plea.”

Another defense attorney, Lisa Whittier, echoed Liberman’s sentiments, saying a motivated defendant will find a place to volunteer.

Queries about which agencies accept as volunteers people placed on deferred disposition produced mixed results.

When Elizabeth Pohl, director of Lithgow Public Library in Augusta, received a call from a clerk in the Kennebec County District Attorney’s Office last week, she asked for the library to be removed from the list of those accepting volunteers.

“I had told people years ago we weren’t going to do that any more,” she said. “A couple of times we were taken advantage of.” Pohl said, adding that one incident involved a theft. “The volunteers we do have have to undergo criminal background checks, as does anyone hired here.”

She said the library uses a few skilled volunteers who have had experience working in libraries in Augusta or elsewhere.

“The thing with volunteers is it takes time to train them, to support them and to make sure they’re feeling appreciated,” she said.

The Kennebec Valley Humane Society in Augusta welcomes volunteers who need to do public service; however, there are some restrictions.

“We do appreciate the concept here of making mistakes and paying dues back and serving your community,” said Hillary Roberts, executive director. “But we take safety seriously. If they’re not soft crimes, we do not accept them.”

The general volunteer application says: “If you were referred to KVHS for court-ordered Community Service or to receive leniency from the courts, a Community Service application will need to be obtained by the Volunteer Coordinator.”

The organization does not accept volunteers convicted of felonies or crimes committed with a weapon or violence or animal cruelty/neglect, among other offenses.

“For any of our volunteers, we do volunteer screening whether they’re court-ordered or doing it from the goodness of their hears,” Roberts said. “We do criminal background checks and Social Security verification.”

Criminal background checks for volunteers are required by many groups.

“A criminal background check is standard practice for volunteers who are working with vulnerable populations,” said Maryalice Crofton, executive director of the Maine Commission for Community Service. “If you’re working for a land trust and planting trees, for instance, they’d be doing background checks.”

She also spoke of the practice of “neighboring,” describing that as an opportunity where “you can just show up, pitch in and help out,” such as shoveling snow for someone temporarily unable to do it.

“It’s not an ongoing need in the community that’s being met through an organized effort that goes multiple years.”

In contrast, she said, “formal volunteering needs to be set up so people can move in and out of the system — even the managers in the system — and it doesn’t break down.” She cited snowbirds as an example.

“You have to stand back and look at things from a risk management perspective,” Crofton said. “What does due diligence look at for me in my program? You have to look at what could go wrong and what do I need to know before I let somebody go in. Some places will be fine because (the volunteers) are never going to leave the eyeballs of the employees. It’s all risk management and common sense.”
