A first court appearance for Michael Devin, 54, of Newcastle, was continued from Aug. 17 to Dec. 4. Devin, a Democratic state representative for District 90, which includes Newcastle, Damariscotta and several other central Lincoln County towns, was arrested for OUI in Damariscotta in June.

According to court documents, Devin retained attorney Aaron Frey of Bangor. Frey filed a motion to continue Devin’s arraignment until December because Devin is receiving inpatient treatment at a Veterans Affairs facility in Bath, New York.”  Frey wrote that the program recommended Devin complete the program without interruption; the program was expected to end Nov. 26.

Assistant District Attorney Katie Dakers did not object to the motion. Devin will face arraignment and a dispositional conference on Dec. 4.
