BELFAST, Maine (AP) — A Belfast man just released from just jail last week was put back behind bars after allegedly sending 28 threatening text messages and photographs in less than 12 hours to a Unity man.

Chief Deputy Jeff Trafton of the Waldo County Sheriff’s Office says Tyler Damon is charged with assault on an officer, terrorizing, refusing to submit to arrest, violation of conditions of release and harassment.

Trafton alleges that between midnight and 11 a.m. Saturday, Damon sent the “life-threatening” messages and photos to the man, including pictures of him holding a gun.

The other man replied to the messages by asking to be left alone.

Trafton tells the Bangor Daily News (http://bit.ly/rzGyGI) that Damon was then belligerent during his arrest. He is being held on $2,500 cash bail.
