A 46-year-old Brunswick man previously convicted of stabbing one man and awaiting trial on charges that he stabbed another in the neck in March, was indicted last week for elevated aggravated assault in yet another alleged stabbing.
Roger Nolan Walker, 46, whose last known address was 101 Merrymeeting Road, was indicted by a Cumberland County grand jury on one count of Class A felony elevated aggravated assault.
Walker allegedly stabbed a 33-year-old Bowdoinham woman at the Merrymeeting Road residence on Jan. 11, Brunswick Police Detective Sgt. Martin Rinaldi said Tuesday.
The woman sustained what Rinaldi said are believed to have been “defensive wounds” to her hand, and she received 17 stitches at Parkview Adventist Medical Center following the incident, he said.
If convicted of the Class A felony charge, Walker could face up to 30 years in jail.
He already awaits trial on another charge of elevated aggravated assault after police say he stabbed a 43- year-old man in the neck with scissors on March 26.
Walker was arrested later that night, and the alleged victim was treated at Maine Medical Center, police said at the time.
In July 2005, Walker was charged — and later convicted — of aggravated assault after stabbing a 47-year-old Brunswick man in the head with a barbecue fork.
Walker remained in Cumberland County Jail on Tuesday afternoon on bail of $50,000 cash or $100, 000 surety, according to a jail official. Information on his next court date was not immediately available.
