| Parties | STATE of Maine v. Kristoffer ANTONSEN. |
| Court | Maine Supreme Court |
R. Christopher Almy, Dist. Atty., Philip Worden, Asst. Dist. Atty., Bangor, for the State.
Jay Otis, Cohen & Cohen, Bangor, for defendant.
Before McKUSICK, C.J., and NICHOLS, WATHEN, GLASSMAN, SCOLNIK, and CLIFFORD, JJ.
Kristoffer Antonsen appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court, Penobscot County, entered on a jury verdict finding him guilty of operating a motor vehicle after the suspension of his license to drive in violation of 29 M.R.S.A. § 2184 (Supp.1986). We find no merit in his claim that the violation of section 2184 requires actual notice of the suspension and a culpable mental state. See 29 M.R.S.A. § 2184(1)(D); 17-A M.R.S.A. § 34(5)(B) (1983); State v. Kovtuschenko, 521 A.2d 718 (Me.1987).
The entry is:
Judgment affirmed.
All concurring.
