An Episcopal priest accused of mailing prescription drugs to inmates at a Wiscasset jail made his first court appearance in that town Thursday morning and did not enter a plea.

The Rev. Stephen Foote, 70, of Bremen, who has been placed on leave as a transition priest at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Augusta, faces one felony charge of trafficking in prison contraband at Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset. He didn't have to enter a plea in the pre-indictment hearing at Lincoln County Superior Court this morning, but a grand jury is expected to take up the case in January.

At Thursday morning's hearing bail conditions were slightly modified, including the striking of a condition that prohibited use and possession of alcohol.
