ALFRED — A man who allegedly threatened his former girlfriend and her new boyfriend with a .45-caliber handgun on July 3 has been indicted by a York County grand jury.
Marcus Lefebvre, 28, of Waterboro, faces eight counts, ranging from criminal threatening to stalking, terrorizing and more in connection with the incident on North Road in Cornish that played out around noon on July 3.
The grand jury handed up the eight-count indictment Sept. 7.
York County Sheriff, Bill King, outlined the allegations in a July news release.
He said the male victim, and Lefebvre’s former girlfriend, were leaving a residence in Cornish when they found a vehicle blocking their driveway. When the man asked the driver of the vehicle, William Lefebvre, Marcus’ father, to move his vehicle, Marcus appeared and allegedly pointed a .45 Caliber handgun at him and the woman.
King said the man was also armed and displayed his firearm while retreating and calling police.
The sheriff said Lefebvre had allegedly been threatening his former girlfriend and her new boyfriend for several weeks. Deputies had formally warned Lefebvre to stay away from the pair the previous month.
Deputies also issued Lefebvre a cease harassment order because he was allegedly text messaging threats to the victims.
After Lefebvre was taken to jail, his former girlfriend, who co-owns a residence with him, went to retrieve some personal belongings and encountered Lefebvre’s father, William, who was subsequently charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
The grand jury returned indictments against Marcus Lefebvre, charging two counts each of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, stalking and terrorizing, all Class B or C felonies, along with two misdemeanor harassment counts.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt, but a finding that enough evidence exists to begin prosecution.
