Strafford Sheriff Arraigned

Strafford County Sheriff Mark Brave is charged with crimes related to his hookups with women, allegedly paid for with public money.

Brave does not have a lawyer, representing himself during his arraignment hearing.

The Strafford County Democrat entered pleas of not guilty to the eight felony charges brought against him, and he remains free on bail with the same restrictions imposed when he was arrested last month.

Brave, who is on paid leave from his sheriff’s job, is prohibited from contacting numerous Strafford County employees, including several members of the sheriff’s office staff.
