RANGELEY — A local man who is on probation for a domestic assault conviction was arrested again Tuesday on the same charge allegedly involving the same victim, police said.

Frank J. Thompson, 19, was arrested on charges of domestic violence assault and a violating his probation, Maine State Police Trooper Scott Stevens said.

Thompson was formerly known as Frank McConnell III but changed his name, Stevens said.

Thompson, when he was McConnell, pleaded guilty in March to domestic assault, criminal mischief and violating conditions of release and was sentenced to serve 10 days of an 18-month sentence and two years probation on the release violation and 10 days concurrent with that on the misdemeanor charges.

The assault and criminal mischief charges stemmed from an arrest in November 2009 when he was accused of assaulting a pregnant woman. The woman, who has since had the baby, is also the victim in the new charge, police said.

A call came in early Tuesday from a woman who said she had been assaulted by Thompson, Stevens said.

Thompson had left the residence and State Police brought in a tracking dog to try and locate him, he said.

There were a couple sightings of Thompson around town and police caught up with him at another residence later in the morning, Stevens said.

The woman was physically assaulted but declined medical treatment, Stevens said.

Thompson’s probation officer put a probation hold on him, Stevens said.

He is being held at the Franklin County Jail in Farmington until he goes before a judge on Wednesday.

During the court proceedings in March, Assistant District Attorney Andrew Robinson told the court that if the 2009 domestic assault case had gone to trial, Rangeley police would have testified that the then McConnell had gone to his girlfriend’s residence and kicked in a door, verbally threatened her and beat her up before running out the door.

The Rangeley officer would have also testified that he saw fresh bruise marks on her and blood running from her nose, Robinson said. Thompson had smashed a lamp and assaulted her under the cover of darkness, he said.

The woman told the judge in March that she wanted to have contact with Thompson to help her with the baby as long as he was sober.

Justice Michaela Murphy granted Robinson’s request to set up a “safe zone” during probation that included limited hours of contact with the woman from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and prohibited him from drinking alcohol. Those conditions were still in effect, Stevens said Tuesday.

Murphy also ordered Thompson to complete a certified batterers intervention program and a parenting course.
