BELFAST, Maine — A Searsmont man was arrested Wednesday night after allegedly assaulting his estranged spouse, another man and trashing a residence on Poors Mills Road in Belfast.

Scott Hall, 24, went to the home where his estranged wife resides at about 7 p.m. and allegedly kicked in the front door in to gain access, according to a report from the Belfast Police Department.

Once inside, Hall reportedly assaulted a man who was helping at the residence, according to police, then allegedly assaulted his estranged wife. She told police he hit her in the chest and knocked her onto a bed, allegedly hitting one of the children while in the process of assaulting the woman.

He also reportedly “trashed” the trailer, according to the police report.

Hall was charged with assault, domestic violence assault and domestic violence criminal mischief. He was taken to Waldo County Jail and remained in police custody Thursday. He is being held on $1,000 cash bail, according to a jail official.

    1. Wow you must be a winner, not everyone can live in a big house. you ever heard the saying dont judge a book by it cover.

        1. Nope they live in a decent house, but i never judge anyone because the car they drive or the house they live in. Good people come from every kind, poor to rich so why does it matter what you live in?

  2. I guess the system still hasn’t learned from all the terrible things that have happened after letting someone charged with domestic violence out on such a small bail.  I hope that some protection is given to this family…hate to read in BDN tomorrow that this women along with her children are gone.

  3. The police are doing their job But whoever decides the bail keeps these creeps on the streets. 

  4. Ohhhhhh my hero! ….bust down the door, hit a guy, punch the wife, hit the kid, trash the house on the way out. He is a one man wrecking ball, hope he an fight for the soap in the jail shower!
