State v. Hederson
Annotate this CaseDefendant was arrested in New Hampshire on a domestic violence charge and released that day on bail, subject to certain no-contact conditions. Thereafter, Defendant allegedly assaulted the victim in Maine. Defendant was charged by complaint in Maine with, inter alia, violation of a protective order. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the violation of a protective order count, asserting that the no-contact bail conditions ordered by the New Hampshire bail commissioner were not “similar” to a protective order for purposes of Maine statutes governing protection from abuse. The trial court granted Defendant’s motion to dismiss, and the State appealed. The Supreme Judicial Court remanded the matter to the trial court for further proceedings, holding that, on this record, the Court could not adequately address the issues raised by the parties.
