A 62-year-old Littleton woman has been indicted on multiple charges in connection with the shooting last October of a 52-year-old man in the home they shared.
Margaret Barnes, who was arrested on Oct. 25 in connection with the shooting of Scott Barnes that same day was among more than two dozen people indicted on Jan. 8 by the Aroostook County grand jury.
Barnes, who remains in custody, was indicted on charges of elevated aggravated assault, domestic violence reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and aggravated assault, according to the indictment list released Thursday by Aroostook County District Attorney Todd Collins.
Scott Barnes was hospitalized for more than two weeks after the shooting, but is now back at home in Littleton, according to Collins and Aroostook County Sheriff Darrell Crandall. Though they share a last name, the relationship between Margaret and Scott Barnes has yet to be made publicly clear.
Houlton police Chief Joe McKenna said in the days after the shooting that his officers had an interaction with Margaret Barnes two days before the shooting.
He said officers were called to the Doc’s Place gas station and convenience store on North Road in Houlton on Friday, Oct. 23, to investigate a report of a woman acting irrationally.
A witness said Barnes was screaming and cursing at police officers and emergency medical technicians.
Officers escorted Barnes outside the store and took her to Houlton Regional Hospital, where she underwent a psychological evaluation, according to McKenna. She wasn’t charged with anything in connection with that incident, and it is unclear when she was released from the hospital.
