A Moscow woman and her boyfriend, both of whom were out on bail from separate arrests this summer, were arrested again Sunday night following a fracas at their Donigan Road home.

Somerset County Sheriff Dale Lancaster said deputies were called to the residence just after 9 p.m. Sunday after a family member said she had been shoved by Shelby T. Skidgell, 29, during a domestic dispute. Skidgell was on bail awaiting trial on charges that she assaulted the same family member in August. She was arrested on charges of violating the conditions of release and domestic violence assault and taken to the Somerset County Jail in East Madison.

Meanwhile, Skidgell’s boyfriend, Joshua G. Coldwell, 28, was found by deputies to be intoxicated, which was a violation of his bail from his arrest in July on burglary charges. He also was arrested and taken to the Somerset County Jail.

Coldwell was charged in July with three burglaries at Upper Kennebec Valley High School on Meadow Street in Bingham dating back to January 2014. Laptop computers and some cash were stolen in those breaks.

Coldwell also admitted to breaking into the Williams General Store on Main Street in Bingham and stealing bottles of liquor and packs of cigarettes, Lancaster said at the time.

Police originally went to the Donigan Road home in July on a report that Coldwell was growing marijuana plants without a Maine medical marijuana card. The card would have made it legal to cultivate six plants.

Lancaster said Coldwell remains held without bail until an Oct. 6 hearing in Skowhegan.

Skidgell pleaded guilty in court Monday to the August charges of two counts of domestic violence assault and one count of disorderly conduct. She was sentenced to 180 days in jail with all but 10 days suspended and two years of probation. She also pleaded guilty Monday to the charges from Sunday and received eight days in jail to run at the same time as the previous sentence.

Donigan Road in Moscow, off U.S. Route 201 north of Austin Stream, has been in the news before.

In June 2014, Danny Parrish Jr., then 38, confronted a woman and three children in his family home on Donigan Road, held a gun to the woman’s head and pulled the trigger, but the weapon misfired. Parrish was allegedly “yelling that he was going to kill everyone in the house,” Lancaster said at the time.

Sheriff’s deputies later were told that Parrish had doused the woman with lighter fluid and attempted to light her on fire.

The woman and children, ages 2, 9 and 10, are members of Parrish’s family, but Lancaster wouldn’t identify them further.

Lancaster at the time said the rifle was magazine-fed and apparently a bullet had not been loaded into the chamber.

Parrish was sentenced in September 2014 to six years in the state prison with all but 18 months suspended, according to court records. His charges were illegal possession of a firearm, domestic violence assault and domestic violence terrorizing.

Lancaster in 2014 said that Parrish was prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law because he is a convicted felon. He said Somerset County authorities confirmed Parrish had a felony conviction in Missouri. He said Parrish was convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine and was sentenced to five years in a Missouri prison. He served three years.

Lancaster said the family recently had moved to Maine from Vermont.
