Steven Peaslee was charged with domestic violence assault, criminal restraint, refusal to submit to arrest or detention and violation of probation, according to a news release from Wiscasset Police Chief Troy Cline.

The victim, an 18-year-old Wiscasset woman, suffered minor injuries from the bites, Cline said.
