Police on Tuesday arrested a man who allegedly assaulted a Stonington woman, held her against her will and threatened her with a gun.
Emergency dispatchers got a 911 call at about 7:53 a.m. from a woman reporting that a man had assaulted her, brandished a firearm and was preventing her from leaving her home, Hancock County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Dakota Dupuis said in a news release.
While on the phone, the woman was able to flee to a nearby building, Dupuis said.
Multiple agencies, including the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office and Maine Marine Patrol, went to the residence and were able to safely remove the woman from the scene.
Police contacted the man, Derek Trundy, 37, who surrendered and was arrested without incident, Dupuis said. Police did not identify Trundy’s town of residence.
Trundy was charged with domestic violence assault, domestic violence criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, and domestic violence reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon.
After a medical evaluation he was brought to the Hancock County Jail, Dupuis said.
