Woman faces charges for alleged threats

WINTERPORT – Officers with the Waldo County Sheriff’s Department tracked down and arrested a woman outside a Winterport residence Wednesday afternoon after she allegedly tried to hit a man with a claw hammer.

Jessica Johnson, 20, of Stockton Springs was charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, aggravated criminal trespass, stealing Schedule W drugs and refusing to sign a summons.

Lt. Bryant White of the Waldo County Sheriff’s Department said Johnson allegedly entered her ex-boyfriend’s house, using the claw hammer to force open the door. Johnson then allegedly “trashed the house,” White said.

When the former boyfriend arrived with another woman and a male, Johnson is alleged to have threatened to hit the ex-boyfriend with the hammer, but the man was able to wrest it from her.

Johnson fled, White said, but he and deputies found her hiding in the woods.
