CHESTERVILLE — A local man was accused of allegedly grabbing a teen by the neck and putting him in a choke-hold, Sheriff Scott Nichols Sr. said Monday.
Keith Grundy, 44, of Chesterville was arrested on a charge of domestic violence assault after Deputy Brian McCormick responded to a report of a disturbance at 11:56 a.m., Nichols said.
Grundy posted $200 bail later Sunday to be released from the Franklin County Detention Center in Farmington.
He is a member the Chesterville Board of Appeals and said he is seeking counsel from an attorney.
A conviction on a domestic violence assault carries a maximum 364 days in jail and up to a $1,000 fine.
