Coronavirus- Judge refuses to lower bail for man accused of violating a protective order

A Portland-area man with a lengthy violent criminal history will remain in the Kennebec County Jail after a judge refused to lower his bail.

Levar Green is charged with two counts of violating a protective order - a Class C crime, due to his prior history.

His attorney filed a motion to reduce bail from $10,000 to $1,000.

We're told that is in part due to the COVID-19 crisis.

However, the district attorney's office says there are currently no cases of COVID-19 at the jail.
