MACHIAS – An East Machias man and two women from St. Stephen, New Brunswick, were indicted Friday on charges of selling prescription narcotics from a Machias motel room.

The indictments were among those returned by a Washington County grand jury.

Jessie L. Reid, 20, Jennifer Bradford, 18, and Shyanne L. Rector, 24, were each indicted on a charge of unlawful trafficking in hydromorphone, a drug commonly known as Dilaudid.

Bradford and Rector also were charged with criminal forfeiture, which allows the state to confiscate assets obtained through drug trafficking or assets that are used to traffic in illegal drugs.

Rector was charged with two counts of criminal forfeiture, and the state took possession of $1,716 in cash and a 1991 Pontiac Grand Am.

Bradford was charged with one count of criminal forfeiture, and the state seized $300 cash.

Reid, Rector and Bradford were arrested Jan. 9 at the Machias Motor Inn when the Washington County Sheriff’s Department obtained a search warrant after another law enforcement officer observed an alleged drug sale in the parking lot of the motel.

In an unrelated incident, the grand jury indicted a 68-year-old Columbia Falls man with burglary, criminal trespass, unlawful possession of a Schedule W drug and two counts of assault.

Assistant District Attorney Carletta Bassano said Frank E. Dorr, 62, allegedly entered a Columbia home May 23 and assaulted the owner and Dorr’s estranged wife. The charge of unlawful possession is the result of Dorr allegedly having in his possession a prescription painkiller when police arrested him, Bassano said.

A 46-year-old Calais man was indicted for theft, theft by extortion and theft by deception.

Bassano said Mark D. Reardon allegedly told his ex-wife that he would give her employer false and disparaging information about her unless she paid him $30,000. The woman immediately went to the Calais police and, at their request, wore a recording device when she met Reardon to give him the money, Bassano said.

The grand jury indicted Jeremy L. Nason, 18, of East Machias on charges of possession of a firearm by a felon, night hunting, illegal possession of illegally killed deer and illegally baiting deer.

Nason was not permitted to own a firearm because he was convicted of a felony as a juvenile, Bassano said.

Wardens received information that Nason owned a gun. When they went to his home Oct. 31, the officers found parts of a deer. Nason allegedly confessed to shooting the animal at night after he attracted it to a tree by setting out apples, the assistant district attorney said.

Wallace M. Richardson Jr., 71, of Steuben was indicted on charges of criminal threatening with the use of a dangerous weapon and violation of the conditions of release.

Bassano said Richardson had been arguing with another man for several days when he met up with him in the parking lot of a local store Aug. 8. Richardson allegedly took a gun from his car and threatened the man.

One of the conditions of Richardson’s release on the criminal threatening charge was that he not use or possess a firearm. On Oct. 25, a Washington County sheriff’s deputy found him in possession of a firearm, Bassano said.

The grand jury also returned the following indictments:

James R. Murray, 26, Lubec, failure to report.

Harry C. Moore, 29, Harrington, operating after habitual offender revocation and operating under the influence of an intoxicant.

John P. Gray, 22, Machias, failure to appear.

Richard Gray, 39, Beals, aggravated negotiating of a worthless instrument.
