The Sagadahoc County Sheriff ’s Office arrested a man Thursday night they say forced his way into a Woolwich man’s home Tuesday armed with a handgun and threatened the man.

At approximately 7:27 p.m. Thursday, 32-year-old Daniel P. Colby Jr., with a last known address in Wiscasset, was arrested by Sgt. Christopher Shaw and Officer Matthew Estes of the Augusta Police Department. Colby was arrested on warrants obtained by Cpl. Aaron Skolfield of the sheriff ’s office.

According to a press release issued Thursday night by the sheriff ’s office, the warrants stemmed from an incident Tuesday at a residence located at 723 Mountain Road in Woolwich.

“The resident called police after he answered a knock at his door and the suspect (Colby) barged in with a handgun and threatened the resident with his life,” the release states. “After making the threat Colby ran from the residence and eluded capture by several police agencies until this evening.”

Colby is charged with the crimes of burglary (Class A), criminal threatening (Class C), and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person (Class C). He was transported to Two Bridges

Regional Jail to await arraignment on the charges.

Colby is familiar to the victim, who did not sustain any physical injuries in the alleged altercation. Police say at this point it appears the incident involves a dispute amongst friends and family members, however the case is still under investigation.

The sheriff ’s office notes in the release that this capture and investigation would not have been possible without the joint efforts of the Sagadahoc County Sheriff ’s Office, Augusta Police Department, Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, Wiscasset Police Department and the Lincoln County Sheriff ’s Office.
