PITTSFIELD: LOCAL MAN ARRESTED FOR SECOND ASSAULT

Merlin Laselle, 37, of Peltoma Avenue was arrested about 6 a.m. Tuesday by Officer Michael Cote and charged with domestic assault. Laselle is accused of assaulting a woman on Saturday, but she did not report the incident to police until Monday. Officer Jeff Vanadestine said the woman received treatment for injuries suffered in the assault early Saturday morning at Redington-Fairview General Hospital. Laselle is being held at Somerset County Jail on a charge of violation of conditions of release related to a domestic assault charge four months ago, involving a separate victim, and additional charges of criminal mischief. Those charges are still pending, Vanadestine said. (Sharon Kiley Mack, BDN)
