PORTLAND — A Paris man charged in federal court with stealing three guns during the break-in at a West Paris store last year was approved Thursday by a federal judge for transfer from jail to a drug rehabilitation facility.
U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge John H. Rich III said Scott Irish, 42, of 25 Old Route 26, could be moved from Cumberland County Jail in Portland to a residential drug addiction recovery facility where he was enrolled in a monthlong rehabilitation program.
Irish had appeared in court Monday by videoconference from the jail, but that hearing was continued to Thursday to allow time for him to be screened by the facility.
