PARSONSFIELD — A suspect whom police say smashed a woman’s cell phone and the windshield on her mother’s vehicle, and then proceeded to kick the interior of a police cruiser following his arrest, is facing four misdemeanor charges.
Elliot Delgado-Acevedo, 24, of Parsonsfield, is charged with two counts of criminal mischief, resisting arrest and unlawful possession of a scheduled drug, all Class E misdemeanors, stemming from the incident on North Road on Tuesday.
Sheriff’s deputies were summoned to the area for a disturbance, said York County Sheriff William L. King Jr. in a statement.
He said the caller reported a physical altercation between a man and a woman on the side of the road.
“Upon arrival, deputies encountered Delgado-Acevedo and an injured female,” said King in an email. “When deputies commenced their investigation, Delgado-Acevedo became combative and was taken into custody. Delgado-Acevedo continued his aggression toward deputies and began kicking the interior of the cruiser.”
The sheriff said the investigation showed Delgado-Acevedo smashed his victim’s cell phone as well as the windshield on her mother’s vehicle. During his initial apprehension, illegal drugs, the type of which was not specified, were allegedly found in his possession.
On Friday morning, King said that the drugs were found in Delgado-Acevedo’s pocket.
He said deputies told him there was not enough evidence to charge the man with domestic violence assault, although the woman had been treated at an area hospital.
Bail was initially set at $500. Delgado-Acevedo made a first court appearance on Wednesday, the sheriff said.
He remains incarcerated at York County Jail and his next court appointment has been set for Jan. 24 at Springvale District Court.
