A former Bath sheriff’s deputy arrested for domestic violence assault in 2019 has agreed to a deal that would dismiss the charge in 18 months if he follows the terms of the agreement.
Matthew Shiers, 37, of Bath, was arrested in June 2019 by the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office after he was accused of strangling his live-in girlfriend during an argument at his home in West Bath. He was employed as a deputy with the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office at the time.
Shiers agreed to plead guilty to domestic violence assault, a Class D misdemeanor punishable by up to 364 days incarceration and a $2,000 fine. If he follows the requirements of the agreement, he can withdraw that plea in 18 months and plead guilty to a lesser charge of reckless conduct instead.
