WILTON, Maine — Police say a local woman faces several charges after assaulting family members, a police officer, a paramedic and damaging a Wilton police cruiser Sunday.
Kelly Hall, 32, was arrested on four charges, including three counts of domestic assault, assault to a paramedic, criminal mischief and refusing to submit to arrest.
When Wilton officer Timothy Coombs, with backup from Deputy Sandy Burke of Franklin County Sheriff’s Department, responded to a domestic violence call just before 1 p.m. Sunday, the officers were concerned that Hall needed medical attention and called for NorthStar ambulance, police Chief Heidi Wilcox said Monday.
During treatment, she assaulted the paramedic, Wilcox said. The paramedic received a minor injury.
The officers put her into the police cruiser where she kicked out a back seat window, damaged another window and a door, she said.
Hall kept trying to climb out the window. While Burke was trying to subdue her and keep her in the car, the woman injured her by kicking her.
Farmington police were called to assist and placed Hall in their cruiser to take her to Franklin Memorial Hospital for a physical evaluation. Once released, police transported her to Franklin County Detention Center, Wilcox said.
The family members were not injured in the incident.
The cruiser is disabled and at Hilltop Collision Center being evaluated, Wilcox said.
Hall made an initial court appearance Monday in Farmington where bail was set at $300 and a Maine pretrial contract, according to an officer at Franklin County Detention Center where she remained Monday night. Her next court appearance is scheduled for April 13.
