Prison inmate faces charges for squeezing breast milk into fellow inmate’s drink

An inmate at Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset, Maine, is being charged with attempted aggravated assault for squeezing breast milk into a fellow inmate’s drink. The charge is one of three that Susan M. Doray, 30, of Wiscasset, is facing due to her alleged behaviour at the jail.

According to a Lincoln County grand jury indictment, Doray “attempted to intentionally, knowingly or recklessly cause serious bodily injury” with her breast milk. Doray was one of six inmates alleged to have possessed or tested positive for Suboxone, a narcotic used to treat opiate addictions, and amphetamines, according to an affidavit by arresting Officer Paul Rubashkin. Rubashkin’s investigation was initiated by Lt. Darryl Groh, a shift commander at the jail.



According to the affidavit, Doray was visibly intoxicated and tested positive for amphetamines and Suboxone. Doray allegedly revealed she had received and distributed Suboxone and the amphetamine Vyvanse to other inmates during interviews with Rubashkin. She also allegedly revealed she had put her breast milk in another inmate’s drink. “Doray may be hepatitis C positive … Doray could possibly have transmitted hepatitis,” to the other inmate, Rubashkin wrote.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hepatitis is only transmitted by infected blood, not by human breast milk. There are no current data to suggest that hepatitis is transmitted by human breast milk. Doray was arrested and charged with attempted aggravated assault, trafficking in prison contraband and violation of condition of release. Attempted aggravated assault and trafficking in prison contraband are both Class C felonies that carry a maximum prison sentence of five years and a maximum fine of $5,000.
