A Wiscasset man who eluded police for a month has been rearrested after he allegedly made threats against the Wiscasset chief of police.

Glenn Lewis, 58, of Wiscasset was arrested Feb. 27 and charged with terrorizing after he allegedly threatened harm against Wiscasset Police Chief Troy Cline.

At approximately 1 p.m. Feb. 27, Cline was at the Lincoln County Court House on High Street for a possible hearing. Cline was approached by Lincoln County Sheriff Sgt. Aaron Mortensen, who reportedly asked Cline if he had been advised of a potential threat made against him earlier in the day, to which Cline said that he hadn't.

The threat was allegedly made by Lewis, who was reported to have spoke to a court employee about Cline. Lewis allegedly called Cline an explicit name, and said that he was going to “(expletive) him up.”

Cline spoke with the court employee, who reportedly stated that Lewis was at the clerk's window for assistance when he made the comments. The court employee reported that they were concerned following the comments, which were then forwarded to the county transport deputies.

Lewis was charged with violating the conditions of his release, a Class E crime, and terrorizing, a Class D crime.

Lewis and Cline have some history: In December 2014, Cline attempted to pull Lewis over for allegedly not having a front license plate or inspection sticker on his Ford truck.

Lewis then allegedly fled from Cline on Gardiner Road, in a chase that involved deputies from the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office.

The chase was called off after several minutes and the driver of the black truck was able to elude capture. Because Cline knew who the vehicle belonged to, he wrote an arrest warrant for Lewis following the chase.

Lewis was eventually arrested by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office on Jan. 12 in Jefferson after almost a month on the run. Lewis and another man, Jeffrey King, were both arrested and charged; Lewis with eluding a police officer, criminal speed and improper plates, and King with hindering apprehension.

Lewis' bail conditions from that arrest forbid him from committing any new crimes. Terrorizing (Class D) and the violation of bail conditions (Class E) are both misdemeanors, with Class D crimes being punishable by up to 364 days in county jail and up to a $2,000 fine and Class E crimes carrying a maximum penalty of six months in jail and up to a $1,000 fine.

Lewis was held on $1,000 unsecured bail and was ordered to have no contact with a pair of court employees who reportedly witnessed his statements. He will have a court date April 13 at Lincoln County District Court.
