Flames in Bath

Fire has destroyed a home at 4 Libby Court, where there were no injuries, and several pets were safely evacuated. The source of the fire is said to have been a space heater under a pickup truck in a carport attached to a house. Bath firefighters were joined at the scene by several neighboring fire departments.

The Culmination of an Embarrassing Situation

Former state representative Brian Jones of Freedom has now pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge and another charge of failing to provide police with his correct name. This follows an incident in September in which a state trooper discovered him having sex with a woman in a van in a “park and ride” lot in West Gardiner. Jones was given a 12-month deferred disposition, meaning that if he avoids further criminal trouble, he can withdraw those pleas and the charges will be dismissed.
