On November 4, 2024 I was arraigned in Fort Kent District Court. The case was presided over by Judge Carrie Linthicum.
I later googled her name and discovered that Judge Carrie Linthicum's pay in 2023 ($148,231.60) was three times her co-workers in Maine, and twice that of the national average. Judge Nelson, who sentenced Shane and who is now presiding over this ridiculous charge of disorderly conduct, had the same pay as Linthicum. And I found the pay for the Maine State trooper Ted Martin who arrested me. He must have had an increase in pay around the time of my arrest on July 10, 2024 because he'd just been promoted to corporal, imagine that.
The link to the payroll records is simply openpayrolls.com
If you don't get results in the search bar in the middle of the page, try using the search on the sidebar to the left, which you can use filters. I found District Attorney Todd Collins pay from there.
Todd R Collins worked as a District Attorney for the State of Maine and in 2023 had a reported pay of $135,021.60 according to public records. This is 94.6 percent higher than the average pay for state employees and 88.2 percent higher than the national average for government employees.
So now, for what happened at my arraignment. She, the judge, would not drop the bail condition which forbid me to be at the home on our property...even though our tenant moved out soon after my arrest and notice of eviction. I did not agree that the court had jurisdiction and would not enter a plea, so Judge Linthicum entered one for me, of "not guilty".
