Followup ME: No Charges for Brian Duplisea in Shooting of Ralph McLaughlin II

The Penobscot County district attorney’s office said Thursday it will not prosecute the Newport man charged in connection with a Dec. 12 shooting at a convenience store.

Brian Duplisea, 34, of Newport originally was arrested and charged with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, a Class C crime. He was released from Penobscot County Jail on $10,000 cash bail Dec. 13.

District Attorney Marianne Lynch said her office could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Duplisea committed the crime, so it was not going forward with the case.
