Whitefield man arrested for fourth time this year
A Whitefield man who was arrested twice in July has been arrested twice in September.
Kimber Niles, 61, of Whitefield, was rearrested by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office after he allegedly violated the conditions of his bail and struck a woman.
Niles was arrested after Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Chad Gilbert received a report of an out of control man in Whitefield.
When Gilbert arrived, he reportedly found the caller, who is related to Niles. The caller reported that Niles was allegedly intoxicated and having a breakdown about a man who owed him money, according to Gilbert's report.
The caller reported that Niles wanted her to drive him to the man's house to discuss the money owed, but the woman reportedly said no. Niles allegedly became mad and struck the woman on the arm.
According to Gilbert's report, he spoke with an allegedly intoxicated Niles, who reportedly claimed he didn't remember the incident.
Niles was arrested, against the caller's wishes, and transported to Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset. Niles was charged with Class D domestic violence assault and Class E violating the conditions of his release, and court-ordered to neither drink nor possess alcohol and to have no contact with the victim. Niles pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Niles was rearrested and charged with Class E violating the conditions of his release on Sept. 13 after allegedly violating the conditions of his bail. Niles pleaded not guilty to that charge and was held on $1,000 cash bail. He will have a Nov. 9 court date at the Lincoln County Court House.
Niles was originally arrested in October 2014 after he allegedly crashed his truck in Whitefield near his home. According to the police report, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Aaron Beck was called to Whitefield to investigate a report of a domestic disturbance.
According to Beck's report, Niles allegedly been drinking and crashed his pickup truck and walked back to his home on foot. Once there, he allegedly began yelling at a woman and then reportedly began destroying items in the house.
When Beck spoke to Niles, he allegedly said that his truck had gotten stuck. In his report, Beck wrote that Niles appeared intoxicated and he arrested him and charged Niles with Class D criminal mischief and Class D criminal OUI.
For those two charges Niles was entered into a deferred disposition in May at the Lincoln County Court House in Wiscasset, which would have reduced his charges pending good behavior.
Niles was arrested July 3 and again on July 8 after he allegedly drank alcohol despite being court-ordered not to do so.
Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Joel Seekins arrested Niles after performing a random search, which was part of his bail conditions, along with the stipulation that Niles neither drink nor possess alcohol.
Less than a week later Niles was rearrested by Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Kenneth Hatch, after Hatch reportedly spoke to Niles and reported that he allegedly appeared to be intoxicated.
For the two July infractions Niles was charged with Class E violation of conditions of release.
Class D and E are both misdemeanor crimes and are punishable by up to 364 days in jail and six months in jail, respectively. Class D crimes are punishable by up to a $2,000 fine while Class E crimes carry a maximum penalty of $1,000.
