FARMINGTON – A Chesterville man who was Tasered by police last week was barred Thursday from possessing firearms until charges of domestic terrorizing and refusing to submit to arrest are resolved.

Judge John McElwee did grant a request from Norman Parent, 70, to have his bail amended to allow him to go home.

He has been prohibited from contact with his wife, Katherine Matthews, at their Stinchfield Hill Road home since early Aug. 18 after police received a report of alleged domestic terrorizing from a third party.

Parent posted $2,000 cash bail for his release Saturday and has been staying at a friend’s house.

Matthews, 61, denied earlier this week and again in court Thursday that her husband terrorized her. She said that her husband was angry and stressed about $6,000 her son in Massachusetts owes him. She had called a friend, she said Tuesday, hoping that he would go to the house and talk to her husband. Instead, the friend called police.

Assistant District Attorney Andrew Robinson said police were told there had been an argument and Parent threatened to kill Matthews’ son and if she sided with him, he would kill her, too.

It was also indicated to police that he kept a loaded handgun by his bedside, Robinson said.

Parent’s wife expressed that she was concerned about her husband, her son and herself, Robinson said.

Robinson requested that if the court allowed Parent to go home, that he be ordered to have no firearms.

“Oh, that’s ridiculous,” Parent said from the podium in 12th District Court.

Parent, who wears a hearing aid, had said during Robinson’s court briefing that he couldn’t hear what was being said even with his hearing aid turned all the way up.

The court security officer gave him a hearing device to put in the other ear to help him hear better.

Matthews disputed what was said in court and told the judge, “I wish to have him back home. It’s not between him and I.”

McElwee told Parent that until the case is resolved, he remains charged with very serious charges, and he was going to recommend he not possess or use firearms.

“I have a gun case; I’m a licensed Maine guide. I don’t intend to use them,” Parent said.

He asked who was pressing charges.

McElwee said the state of Maine.

Parent asked if someone is going to arrest you, do they tell you before they arrest you or after they tussle with you.

McElwee ordered Parent to have no possession or use of firearms.

He told Matthews it was her responsibility to get the guns out of the house before her husband came home.

A Franklin County Sheriff’s deputy’s report stated that Parent was “agitated, confrontational and very aggressive” and told them he wasn’t going anywhere with them.

The deputy’s report also stated that Parent refused to submit to arrest and he scuffled with a state trooper while the two were trying to arrest him.

Parent, who has a history of heart problems, ended up being shocked with an electronic Taser to immobilize him so police could take him into custody.
