Man jailed to await much-delayed sentencing

It’s taken almost 13 years but 35 year old Jeremy Myles Ryan will finally be sentenced soon for a sex offence involving someone under 16.

The Telegraph-Journal reports Ryan pleaded guilty in 2004 but then failed to show up for sentencing. He was finally back in court yesterday where he pleaded guilty to not attending court for his sentencing hearing. This time the judge remanded him in custody until he is sentenced August 21st.

Beach contamination

Parlee Beach and Murray Beach are under no-swimming advisories because of water samples showing signs of high fecal contamination…highest numbers so far this season.

Water samples from the weekend showed very high contamination counts and signs went up yesterday…although some ignored them and went in the water anyway. Area residents say one of the problems is that it takes a couple of days after testing that results get back and signs are posted.
