AUGUSTA — A charge that MaineGeneral Medical Center committed a motor vehicle infraction with a vehicle it uses on its Augusta hospital site has been resolved with a court filing, meaning it will be dismissed in a year if no criminal conduct occurs and the hospital complies with certain conditions.

The hospital had been cited earlier this year by Trooper Bernard Campbell, of the Maine State Police Commercial Vehicle Division. The civil infractions, all dated Feb. 4, 2016, alleged in one count that the hospital failed to investigate a driver’s background and in three other counts failed to require drivers to provide driver/vehicle inspection reports.

The former charge carries a maximum penalty of $6,240, and each of the latter charges a penalty of $700.

According to a document filed June 30, 2016, in the case at the Capital Judicial Center, the special conditions of the filing say the hospital will pay court costs of $500 and “maintain membership in the Maine Motor Transportation Association, follow the recommendations of (the association) and maintain compliance with all federal and state motor transport laws and regulations.”

The notice of filing is signed by Assistant District Attorney Suzanne Russell and the hospital’s attorney, Marci Alexander.

Tim Plossay, director of materials management at MaineGeneral, said via email in April that the issue “relates to one of our internal use vehicles (we do not use this vehicle for the public).”

The vehicle cited was listed as being at Medical Center Parkway, the site of MaineGeneral Medical Center’s hospital that opened in November 2013 in north Augusta.
