LIMINGTON — A 36-year-old Limington man was charged with domestic violence assault and refusing to submit to arrest following a disturbance on Boothby Road in Limington on Monday night.
When York County Sheriff’s deputies arrived, they found that a domestic dispute had turned physical, said York County Sheriff William L. King Jr. in a statement.
King said the investigation showed that Richard Perkins, 36, of Limington was the primary aggressor and he was subsequently arrested and charged with domestic violence assault against his girlfriend.
The woman was evaluated by medical personnel.
King said Perkins was also charged with violating bail conditions in connection with a prior charge, for which bail is not allowed.
He was taken to York County Jail and is scheduled to make a first court appearance on Wednesday.
