PORTLAND — A domestic violence assault charge against a pastor from Falmouth will be dismissed after a year so long as he avoids additional accusations of criminal conduct.

The resolution of Kendall Libby’s case – called a filing – was reached in Cumberland County Unified Criminal Court today. Libby is a pastor at Grace Church, a nondenominational congregation that meets at Windham High School. Libby and his wife, Julie, started the church with a group of friends in 2009, according to its website.

Libby released a statement that said the outcome of his case shows justice and truth can still win even when the legal system is abused.

“… in life, we do our part, always give our best, stay in faith and accept what we can’t control. Then we move on with dignity and grace,” Libby said in the statement.

Police charged Libby at his Gray Road home on Feb. 12 after receiving a report of a fight. Police said there was probable cause to arrest Libby for assault on his wife, who did not require medical attention.

Libby’s lawyer, J.P. DeGrinney, said that the arrest was made based on a statement by Libby’s wife.

“The filing is as close to an ‘unarrest’ as possible,” DeGrinney said.

The prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Kate Tierney, could not immediately be reached for comment.
