The President and CEO of Covered Bridge Chips in Waterville was released from jail following an appearance in Bangor District Court on Monday, Oct. 21
The Bangor Police Department arrested Ryan Abright early Saturday morning on a charge of domestic violent assault.
A clerk at the Bangor District Court confirmed Albright attended court on Monday, where it ordered a $750 cash bail. She couldn’t confirm whether the bail was paid but said the court scheduled Albright to return for a hearing on Jan. 13.
The Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Albright was no longer in their custody.
Jason McAmbley, public information officer with the Bangor Police Department, explained officers responded to a call shortly after midnight on Saturday, Oct. 19.
He said police arrested the 44-year-old Albright at approximately 1 a.m., shortly after arriving at the Bangor, Maine, residence. He said he is not sure who owns or lives at the residence.
McAmbley said the victim, who he didn’t identify, sustained minor injuries that didn’t require treatment at a hospital.
Asked whether Albright’s Canadian status would factor into his efforts to secure bail, McAmbley said, “I would think that would make a difference.”
McAmbley said domestic violence is a serious issue in Bangor and throughout Maine.
“Most of the murders in Maine are related to domestic violence,” he said.
