On Wednesday, Cherie MacDougall, 42, was arraigned in a Marion County court after a grand jury indicted her on multiple charges stemming from an investigation back in 2022, the Marion County District Attorney’s Office said.

“According to a court exhibit, MacDougall was paid by incarcerated individuals to provide them with vaping devices.  She later provided [someone] with two firearms after that individual was released from custody on conditional release in the community. The grand jury also indicted MacDougall for engaging in a sexual relationship with that same person,” the Marion County DA said in a statement.

A judge has imposed a $100,000 bail and the next court date is scheduled for September 11 in Salem.
