SKOWHEGAN — A local man was arrested Sunday afternoon after allegedly threatening another man on Madison Avenue with a knife.
Police arrested Charles Fairley, 32, of North Avenue in Skowhegan, on a charge of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, a Class C felony punishable by up to five years if he is convicted.
Skowhegan police were dispatched to an apartment on Madison Avenue around 3:30 p.m. for a report of a disturbance, Detective Sgt. Josh King said. Residents told police that Fairley threatened a man who lives at 213 Madison Ave.
