PARIS – The following cases were settled this week in Oxford County Superior Court after defendants reached plea agreements with district attorneys. Justices Robert E. Crowley and Ellen Gorman presided over cases this week.

• Steven Paul, 48, of Rumford, pleaded guilty to trafficking scheduled drugs. The charge was downgraded from a class A felony to a class B felony.

Paul will have to pay a fine but won’t do any more jail time. Justice Ellen Gorman sentenced him to three years in prison, all but 15 days suspended, giving him credit for the 15 days already served. He will be on probation for two years.

Paul was arrested by the Rumford Police Department as part of a cocaine raid in the Rumford area in October.

• Scott Pike, 22, of 16 Osgood Ave., Mexico, pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal trespassing, aggravated assault and criminal mischief. He was sentenced to 120 days in jail.

The charges come from a Sept. 29 incident at a residence in Mexico where Pike showed up at someone’s house, according to court records. After the individual asked him to leave, he assaulted the victim, then had his pit bulls attack him, according to records. Pit bulls are considered a dangerous weapon.

• Christina Eaton, 31, of 61 Route 232, Rumford, pleaded guilty to a charge of negotiating a worthless instrument, a class C felony. The charges result from a bad check.

Eaton had purchased a $5,504.75 pool from Hilltop Pools. She has paid off most of it, records show, but still owes $964.

Assistant District Attorney Richard Beauchesne gave Eaton a one-year deferred disposition for her to pay the money owed. She will appear in front of the judge again in one year.

• Todd Greig, 40, of 40 Mineral Springs Road, Peru, will spend one year of a five-year sentence in prison after pleading guilty to operating after revocation and operating under the influence. This was his third OUI offense, district attorneys said.

Greig was given a stay of execution until Jan. 4, and will have his license suspended for four years after he is released.

• Aristotle Tsimis, 21, of Paris, pleaded guilty to charges of criminal threatening and assault. Gorman sentenced him to two years in prison, all suspended.

The charges stem from a June 18 incident at a residence where police say Tsimis got angry and punched two people. The victims were bruised but suffered no injuries requiring medical treatment.

Also, the following were arraigned this week in Superior Court:

• James Towers, 40, of 224 Maple St., Rumford, pleaded not guilty to two counts of aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs. Towers was arrested Dec. 1 after the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency found sufficient evidence that he was trafficking cocaine.

Towers was arrested along with his brother, Edward, after a seven-month investigation into cocaine trafficking in the Rumford area.

• Joseph Cox, 21, of Bryant Pond, pleaded not guilty to charges of trafficking heroin. Cox was arrested around Aug. 1 by the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.

• Mark White, 18, of 95 Main Ave., Rumford, pleaded not guilty to charges of burglary and theft by unauthorized taking.

White was arrested by Maine State Police after an employee from a Roxbury variety store reported it burglarized. White confessed to burglarizing the store.

• Jesse Arsenault, 19, of 180 Packard Road, Peru, pleaded not guilty to charges of burglary and theft by unauthorized taking. Police arrested Arsenault Nov. 13 after believing he burglarized a Sumner convenience store. Police said Arsenault later confessed to the crimes.
