BRUNSWICK
Brunswick police charged a man with elevated aggravated assault after they say he stabbed another man on Storer Road Friday morning.
Officers were called to the Storer Road home at 6:42 a.m. and found a 37-year-old resident there had been stabbed, according to Brunswick Police Cmdr. Mark Waltz.
Waltz said the alleged perpetrator is believed to be Jonathan Moss, 24, who had left the scene by the time police arrived.
Moss, a transient, was arrested in the parking lot of the Family Dollar Store in Richmond at around 1 p.m. Saturday.
“We got information that he was going to be there to meet up with a family member,” said Richmond Police Chief Scott MacMaster, “so we were set up across the way waiting for him.”
Waltz said Moss and the victim knew each other and had an argument prior to the incident. The victim was taken to Mid Coast Hospital with the single knife injury that wasn’t considered life-threatening.
Moss was charged with elevated aggravated assault, a Class A crime punishable by up to 30 years incarceration. He was also charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, punishable by up to five years incarceration, and the misdemeanor charges of terrorizing and reckless conduct.
He is scheduled to appear in Cumberland County court in Portland on Aug. 21.
