Me. Stat. tit. 15 § 1981
Sheriffs, jailers and constables who by virtue of their office receive any fines or forfeitures, shall forthwith pay the fines and forfeitures to the Treasurer of State. [1977, c. 114, §30(AMD).]
If any such officer neglects to pay over such fine or forfeiture for 30 days after the receipt of the fine or forfeiture or if the officer permits any person sentenced to pay the fine or forfeiture and committed to the officer's custody to go at large without payment, unless by order of court, and does not within 30 days after the escape pay the amount of the fine or forfeiture to the clerk of the court, the officer forfeits to the State double the amount. The Treasurer of State shall give notice of that neglect to the Attorney General, who shall sue therefor in a civil action in the name of the Treasurer of State. [1977, c. 114, §31(AMD).]
All such fines imposed by the District Court must be paid over to the District Court.
