A Wiscasset man has been and arrested and charged with four misdemeanors after he allegedly threatened to punch a woman in the face following a car accident.

Kyle Taylor, 31, of Wiscasset was charged with two counts of violating his terms of release, and criminal threatening after authorities responded to an accident in Wiscasset.

At 12:51 p.m. on Dec. 8, Wiscasset Police Chief Troy Cline responded to a car accident on Bath Road near Shady Lane.

When Cline arrived he found one car in a ditch and was advised by ambulance staff that one person had allegedly threatened a woman on scene.

When Cline spoke with Taylor, who had been identified as the man who had threatened the woman, Taylor reportedly denied threatening to punch the woman in the face.

Taylor reportedly told Cline that the woman who had accused Taylor of making threats had run up to him after the accident and yelled and screamed about an infant in her car.

When Cline spoke with the woman she claimed that Taylor had allegedly told her he was going to punch her in the face. When Cline spoke with the woman's boyfriend, he reportedly said he hadn't heard the threat. Another man on-scene reportedly heard the threat.
