MACHIAS, Maine — "Washington County Sheriff Donnie Smith in a May 29 e-mail to the Bangor Daily News accused the District Attorney’s Office of allowing three felony suspects to walk out of jail this week without being arraigned in Machias District Court.
Not so, says the district attorney.
Michael Povich, district attorney for Washington and Hancock counties, said Friday that the three were not arraigned because of problems with how the arrests were handled — including incomplete paperwork."
