BRENTWOOD – A Maine man is facing several felony charges related to a domestic violence assault in Portsmouth, where he allegedly told a woman he would kill her by throwing her into a wood chipper, court documents say.
Jack Coffey, 61, with addresses listed in both Westbrook and Arundel, Maine, was indicted earlier this month by a Rockingham Superior Court grand jury on three counts of domestic violence simple assault and three counts of domestic violence criminal threatening.
According to the indictments, Coffey was previously convicted of violating a protective order in 2017, specifically a protection from abuse order out of Cumberland County District Court in Maine.
A Cumberland County mother could receive her child back after officials removed the child more than a year ago based on allegations of neglect.
The Department of Social Services filed a petition alleging the baby was neglected and a “dependent juvenile” three days after being born in May 2019, court documents state.
A juvenile dependent is partially defined as a child in need of assistance or placement because a parent or guardian is unable to provide for his or her care or supervision and lacks alternative child care arrangement, court documents state.
A trial court awarded nonsecure custody of the baby to the Department of Social Services and appointed a guardian ad litem.
Master Sgt. William J. LaVigne II, 37, who was found dead on Fort Bragg earlier this month, died of multiple gunshot wounds and was "shot by (an) unknown person," according to his death certificate.
