A Standish attorney charged with witness tampering, theft of a firearm and domestic violence denied the charges in a statement Wednesday.
Anthony Sineni III, 52 was arrested by Cumberland County Sheriff’s deputies on Saturday in Cape Elizabeth, booked at the county jail and released on $10,000 bail.
Authorities provided no specifics about what Sineni is alleged to have done and an affidavit in support of his arrest was sealed at the request of the Attorney General’s Office, which is prosecuting the case. However, the charges are apparently related to information in a protection from abuse letter filed Friday by the mother of two of Sineni’s children.
In Wednesday’s statement, Sineni denied the charges against him, saying that the person making the allegations has significant mental-health and substance-abuse issues. He also said he served the sheriff’s office in May with a notice that he intends to sue the agency on behalf of himself and three clients, though he did not identify them.
Sineni also suggested the allegations may be related to a custody dispute involving their children.
