“John Hiatt was asked to resign as the Penobscot County Treasurer Tuesday at the County Commissioners’ meeting in Bangor. Hiatt was arrested last week on child pornography charges. Hiatt did not resign at the request of the Commissioners, instead, he remarked any citizen has the presumption of innocence in criminal matters and will not step down from his position… On Monday, The Bangor School Department accepted Hiatt’s resignation from his post on the Bangor School Committee. School officials stated his position will remain open until the regularly scheduled elections take place in November” reports NBC News Center Maine.
Hiatt, a 38 year old member of the Maine Republican state committee, was arrested in May on charges of stalking and invasion of privacy, and then again on possession of child pornography charges on August 4th. They don’t call them deplorables for nothing.
