Wiscasset Police arrested 20-year-old Steven Peaslee on charges related to an alleged domestic violence assault Dec. 15.
According to a statement from the Wiscasset Police Department, Wiscasset Officer Perry Hatch received a complaint from an 18-year-old female around 5:35 p.m. Dec. 15. The woman alleged she had been against her will at the residence she shared with Peaslee.
