CARIBOU, Maine – A business owner has been sentenced to seven months in Aroostook County Jail with all but 14 days suspended after being found guilty of unlawful sexual touching and domestic violence assault in October.
Steve A. Plummer, 53, of Fort Fairfield received the sentencing Nov. 28 at Caribou Superior Court. He was convicted of unlawful sexual touching and domestic violence assault during a bench trial in Caribou Oct. 5 and 6.

Nelson ordered that all but 14 days of the charge for unlawful sexual touching be suspended and that Plummer serve one year of probation.
