FARMINGTON, Maine — A Livermore Falls man with a history of convictions for drunken driving and operating with a revoked license was arrested by Jay police Thursday night.
Albert J. Abbott, 42, appeared in 12th District Court on Friday on felony charges of aggravated operating after habitual offender revocation and operating under the influence, according to court documents.
Judge Nancy Carlson set bail at $35,000 cash.
Jay police officer Mike Mejia stopped a vehicle for an expired registration and suspicion of false attachment of plates, he said in an affidavit. He spoke to the driver and discovered Abbott’s license was revoked, even though Abbott initially provided him with a false date of birth.
The officer arrested Abbott and was taking him to Franklin County Jail in Farmington when another officer told him Abbott was on probation for manslaughter/OUI conviction, the affidavit states. Abbott is barred from using alcohol during probation.
The alcohol breath test showed Abbott had a .12 percent blood alcohol level, the affidavit states.
According to the state’s complaints filed with the court, Abbott had three or more convictions for operating after habitual offender revocation and two convictions for operating under the influence within the past 10 years.
He was convicted of operating after habitual offender revocation and operating under the influence on June 25, 2008, in Somerset County Superior Court and July 8, 2008, in Oxford County Superior Court. He was also convicted of operating after habitual offender revocation on Feb. 28, 2005, in Skowhegan District Court, the complaint states.
Judge Carlson also set conditions that Abbott not use or possess alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs and that he be subject to random searches. He was also ordered not to operate any motorized vehicle.
Bail can be revisited once counsel is assigned. He is scheduled to appear in Franklin County Superior Court on March 22, 2013, in Farmington.
I’m sure he will abide by all the conditions the Judge set for his release. I also believe in the tooth fairy.
A college freshmen drunk for the first time at a frat party puking his guts out could blow a .12 with ease. These habitual offenders usually score double what he did with ease. Are they sure? The system surely does not want to make inaccurate tests.
“He was convicted of operating after habitual offender revocation and operating under the influence on June 25, 2008”
Looks like the former Canaan resident and murderer likes to break into other people’s homes too

Albert, Albert…get a bicycle Albert…
death penalty fast…….before he kills an innocent family on their way home.
He’s out on bail for manslaughter/oui
Send the a-hole to Afghanistan.
Which side would you like him to fight on?
Seems like a good candidate for the organ transplant program.One eye now,the other one the next time he drives drunk…
Do you really think that would stop him from drinking and driving?
Sure! Cant drive with out eyes,can you?
If he is on probation for manslaughter/oui why can’t his probation officer violate him and keep him in the slam without bail. This pampering drunks is getting totally nuts. How many people does he have to kill before they figure out he is a danger to everyone and put him away forever?
Apparently not enough yet.
You will never see tough enough laws when most the legal people, political people and medical people are huge drinkers.
How the heck can you make such a blanket statement that most legal, political and medical people are huge drinkers? That statement has ZERO merrit!
Spend time around them and judge for yourself.
Only a .12? That is pretty weak for a habitual offender. He most likely thought he was sober.
Give him bail and bill the family of the person he killed and then lend him a cop car, give him a welfare card for alcohol purchases only.
Thanks judge Nancy for making Maine look like a bunch of drunk idiots and especially thank you for making yourself look worse than us.
42 years old. He is NEVER going to amount to anything at this point.
Just put him to sleep.
Not exactly, a man at the age of 44 years old opened a store in 1962. That store is now the wealthiest company on earth, The stores are called Walmart
The only store this guy might open is a Liquor Store. He’d be its biggest customer…
The judges that keep letting him out will be his best customers
How many OUIs did Mr. Walton Have when he was 44?
Change BAIL… NO WAY! JAIL….
Driving is such a challenge. He needs help.
“Judge Carlson also set conditions that Abbott not use or possess
alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs and that he be subject to random
searches. He was also ordered not to operate any motorized vehicle.”
Awesome. How’d that work the first 4 times?
“on probation for manslaughter/OUI conviction”
That means Albert J. Abbott murdered someone.
This guy not and will not learn until he kills someone else while drinking. Keep him behind bars.
He didn’t learn the first time he killed someone. Why would he learn if he did it again?
