A Windham man who was cleared of homicide charges last fall was summonsed by Westbrook police last month.
Agostino Samson, of 314 River Road, was summonsed for criminal mischief on Sunday, Jan. 24 on Forest Street in downtown Westbrook.
According to Westbrook Lt. Nugent, Samson was banging on an apartment door causing damage to the door, prompting the occupant to call 911.
On Sept. 22 of last year, Samson, 24, was found not guilty in Oxford County Superior Court in the murder of Scott Libby, a Raymond man who operated his own landscaping service.
In the five-day trial, state prosecuting attorneys argued that Samson bludgeoned Libby to death on Feb. 20, 2009 with a cast-iron frying pan, the same used at the Bethel restaurant where Samson worked. Prosecutors, who said Libby’s blood was found at Samson’s place of residence and on Samson’s wristwatch, then argued that Samson drove Libby’s car with Libby inside onto railroad tracks a quarter-mile from Samson’s home, to make it seem Libby died as a result of a train collision.
During testimony, Samson’s lawyer, Maurice Porter, posited an alternative scenario, one in which Libby, who worked at a gay bar in Boston, was killed as a result of a rendezvous-gone-bad since the crime scene was near a known “gay hitchhiking area.” Porter also argued that blood DNA testing proved inconclusive.
