DIXFIELD – Months after two warrants were issued for the arrest of Christopher Jasud, the habitual offender put up little resistance to his arrest Saturday by police Chief Richard A. Pickett.

Jasud, 31, of Dixfield was indicted last August, charged with two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of driving to endanger, one count of criminal operating under the influence and one count of operating after suspension. The charges were filed in connection with a March 18, 2006, accident in which Jasud and two others were seriously injured. When a summons issued by Oxford County Superior Court came back undeliverable, a warrant was issued for his arrest in September.

A separate warrant, charging violation of probation stemming from Jasud’s vehicular manslaughter conviction in 1998, was issued in July. Under the terms of that probation, he was prohibited from driving a car, or using alcohol, drugs or firearms.

Jasud is being held at the Oxford County Jail without bail on the probation violation charge, while bail for the new charges amounted to $2,500 cash or $25,000 worth of real estate.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Oxford County Superior Court.

If Jasud’s probation is revoked, he will have to serve the prison time that was suspended from the 1999 sentencing in the manslaughter case.

“I’ll be pushing for six-and-a-half years, because he almost killed two other people” last year, his probation officer, Michael Downs, said after that accident.

According to Pickett, local and county police were aware Jasud might be back in the area after he had extended rehabilitation treatment in Brewer for head injuries suffered in the 2006 accident. Dixfield police received a routine call for a well-being check on Holman Road on Saturday evening and discovered Jasud at that address when they arrived, Pickett said.

On March 18, 2006, Patrolman Rusty Daley of the Dixfield Police Department observed Jasud speeding in the opposite direction on Route 5 in Dixfield. Daley turned around to pursue, and soon came upon a three-vehicle accident.

Jasud’s vehicle had crossed the center line and collided with two vehicles. The accident injured Christine Abbot of Mexico and Nina Langervin of Dixfield. Jasud was critically injured in the accident.

At that time, Jasud’s license to drive had been permanently revoked as part of the terms of his manslaughter conviction.

On May 23, 1998, Jasud was the driver of a 1981 Dodge van involved in a one-car accident on Route 17 in Byron. According to a report filed by Trooper Kyle Tilsley of the Maine State Police Department, the van crossed the center line, struck a guardrail, crossed the road again, and collided head-on with a tree.

The van had four occupants. Seth Giberson, 25, of Rumford died of massive head trauma at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, and another passenger suffered a ruptured spleen. Jasud and a fourth passenger escaped with minor injuries.

Tilsley wrote that speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. He also cited a “trail of spilled beer coming from the van into the woods where the occupants attempted to destroy evidence of alcohol use by dragging and dumping a cooler full of beer.”

According to a statement filed by Walter Hanstein III in March of 1999, Jasud’s attorney at the time, Jasud’s blood-alcohol level was .13 percent. The legal limit in Maine is .08 percent.

Hanstein also wrote that Jasud demonstrated no other signs of insobriety. He recommended a five-year prison sentence.

“I know from my discussions with Chris how badly he feels about killing his best friend,” Hanstein stated.

Jasud, who had two prior OUI offenses, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter and criminal OUI charges in December 1998. A habitual motor vehicle offender charge was dismissed.

In March 1999, Jasud was sentenced to 12 years in prison, with all but five years and six months suspended. He was also sentenced to a concurrent three-year sentence for the criminal OUI charge, a $1,300 fine, a six-year probationary period, and a four-year loss of license.

According to driving records, the loss of license term was concurrent to the prison term, so Jasud’s license was eligible for reinstatement after March 5, 2003. However, the records also say that his license was suspended indefinitely as ordered by the court.

The district attorney’s office motioned for revocation of Jasud’s probation in September 2004 after he failed to report to his probation officer, allow the probation officer to visit him, pay fines in full, or conduct any community service.

In December 2005, probation officer Downs reported that Jasud was in possession of beer and marijuana. He was sentenced to three months in jail for a probation violation in January 2006, and his probation was partially revoked.
