After being arrested on July 10, 2024 I had agreed to the bail bond condition that I not go back to the home on our property; but I could go to the smaller home across the driveway. There was alot of work to do to get it ready for a tenant.
In a Zoom hearing on December 2, I asked Judge Carrie Lithicum in Fort Kent District Court to drop the bail condition, but she wouldn't, and she transferred the case to Superior Court.
The danger in police failing to arrest me if I violate the condition of my release is that it makes them look weak, like they're not enforcing the law. The danger in arresting me for not complying with the bail condition is that it would be another wrongful arrest. And even though it is your right to defend against a wrongful arrest, it's also dangerous. Here you can read about wrongful arrests.
Merry Christmas, from Lewiston Maine!
