FRANKLIN, Mass. (WHDH) – Annie Dookhan, along with her husband and child, had been holed up in their Franklin home prior to Dookhan’s arrest.

Dookhan’s husband made a statement at the end of August saying his wife maintains her innocence. But interviews with state police reveal Dookhan admitted to mishandling drug samples.

Dookhan also told state police that she was in the process of a long divorce, according to state police statements. But her husband could be seen talking to state troopers immediately following Dookhan’s arrest Friday morning. He also appeared in court with her Friday afternoon.
