A 36-year-old Monmouth woman was arrested Saturday evening on charges of assault, domestic violence assault and operating under the influence of alcohol after she allegedly punched a man several times at a Mount Vernon home and bit a woman on the arm before leaving in a car, according to an affidavit filed by Deputy Michael Sayers, of the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman, Sarah Lynn Delisle, was taken to the Kennebec County jail, and her bail eventually was set at $1,000 cash, Sayers wrote in the affidavit.
Members of the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office went at 5:30 p.m. Saturday to a home on Pond Road in Mount Vernon after receiving a report that a woman had assaulted a man there.
Upon arriving at the home, Sayers wrote, he learned that Delisle allegedly had punched the 31-year-old man several times during an argument and had bitten a 50-year-old woman in the arm before leaving the scene in a vehicle. The man had a bruise on his face and there were several witnesses to the altercation, Sayers added.
The man also told Sayers that Delisle had consumed two bottles of the alcoholic beverage Twisted Tea that day and that she was taking methadone, police said.
Another officer, Sgt. Jacob Pierce found and arrested Delisle a short time later on Sandy Brook Road, Sayers wrote. At 7:40 p.m., police administered a breath test that revealed her blood-alcohol level to be 0.15 percent, almost double the legal limit of 0.08 percent, Sayers wrote.
There were children with Delisle when she was arrested, police said.
Delisle made her initial appearance Monday afternoon at the Capital Judicial Center in Augusta via a video feed from the jail. Along with $1,000 cash bail, she will be subject to conditions of release including testing for illegal drugs and no contact with the people she allegedly assaulted, police said.
A complaint filed at the Capital Judicial Center indicated that Delisle is a Monmouth resident.
