Gignac, 22 was released from York County Jail May 10 following a guilty plea to a misdemeanor domestic violence terrorizing charge in connection with the January fray.
He was arrested by York County Sheriff’s deputies at about 7 a.m. Tuesday and charged with assault and violating probation. He was held without bail, a jail corrections officer said Tuesday and was scheduled to make a first appearance at Springvale District Court by video link from the jail this afternoon.
“At one point, Gignac kicked open a door that his aunt was standing in back of, causing an injury to her leg,” said King in a statement.
Gignac was indicted in April on felony terrorizing and criminal threatening charges and on misdemeanor terrorizing and criminal mischief charges in connection with the earlier incident in January.
King at that time said Gignac was apparently upset because his phone battery ran out of power and he misplaced his headphones. During that episode, Gignac allegedly picked up a vase and threatened to hit his grandmother in the face with it before breaking it on the dining room table. King said Gignac then grabbed a knife and began threatening his grandparents. The couple was not injured.
In relation to the January incident, records show Gignac pleaded guilty on May 10 to a misdemeanor domestic violence terrorizing charge, and was sentenced to 364 days in jail with all but 110 days dismissed.
With credit for time served, he was released that day. He was also sentenced to one year probation. The three other charges were dimissed.
