After being arrested on July 10, 2024 I was forced to agree to the bail bond condition that I not go back to the home on our property which my husband had been sharing with a former friend. And I had to pay $60.
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 are not enforcing the law. The danger in arresting me for not complying with the bail condition is that if would be was a wrongful arrest, arresting me for violating the bail condition should be another wrongful arrest.
And even though it is your right to defend against a wrongful arrest, it's also dangerous. You can read here about wrongful arrests.
Merry Christmas, from Lewiston Maine!
