SKOWHEGAN — A Norridgewock man has been indicted on felony weapons charges after he allegedly terrorized his neighbors with a gun last Saturday.

William F. Longley, 46, of Old County Road, is charged by a Somerset County grand jury with terrorizing with a dangerous weapon, criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, criminal mischief and refusing to submit to arrest, according to the indictment.

Longley was arrested on Old Country Road after allegedly accusing two of his neighbors of kidnapping his girlfriend, then threatening to kill them and firing at least three rounds into one of their homes. He also is accused of attempting to break down the door of another house.

Longley’s girlfriend was not kidnapped and instead had gone for a walk, according to investigators from the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office.

Neighbors said Longley, who has a criminal history, has subjected them to a series of unsettling confrontations. Saturday’s was the latest. He is held in lieu of $100,000 cash bail at the Somerset County Jail in East Madison.

An indictment is not a finding of guilt, but is an indication by the grand jury that enough evidence is present to proceed with a trial.
