Former Wiscasset man charged with violating bail
A Bremen man, formerly of Wiscasset, has been rearrested after he allegedly took drugs and lied about going on a fishing trip.
Wilson “Rex” Collamore, 38, of Bremen was arrested by Lincoln County Sheriff’s Detective Ronald Rollins Feb. 6 and charged with violating the conditions of his bail by allegedly using drugs and not conforming to the conditions of his release.
According to the arrest report, Rollins contacted Maine Pretrial Services and asked where Collamore was staying. According to the report, Pretrial Services said Collamore was out fishing for the next three weeks.
Rollins reportedly told Pretrial Services that Collamore was likely avoiding them, and that Collamore had allegedly been part of a “drug rip.”
Rollins was told that if Collamore was found at home in Bremen, it would be a violation of his bail.
On Feb. 6, Rollins reportedly found Collamore at his Nobleboro Road residence in Bremen.
Collamore allegedly told Rollins that he had just returned from fishing and planned to check in on Feb. 6.
Rollins then placed Collamore in his car and read him his Miranda Rights, which he allegedly waived.
Collamore allegedly admitted that he never went fishing, but that it was because the captain was “jerking him around.” When Rollins asked if Collamore would pass a drug test, Collamore allegedly said that he wouldn't, and that he would reportedly test positive for opiates as he had allegedly used Oxy within the week. Collamore was then arrested and charged with violating the conditions of his release.
Collamore was originally arrested in September 2014 by the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, which charged him with two counts of Class B unlawful drug trafficking.
As part of his pretrial contract, Collamore was court-ordered to submit to random search and testing, and to not use or possess any illegal drugs or commit any criminal acts.
Collamore was again arrested on Oct. 25 after he reportedly refused to submit to a chemical test to determine if he had been using drugs. He reportedly admitted to that charge on Nov. 25 and his pretrial bail was amended.
He had been indicted by the Lincoln County Grand Jury on those charges in December.
As part of those bail conditions he was ordered to follow a curfew and check in with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. He was also ordered not to use excessive amounts of alcohol or possess or use illegal drugs.
Class B charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and up to a $20,000 fine. As of Feb. 9 the state requested that his pretrial bail be revoked.
