FARMINGTON — Rebekah Brown, 38, of Farmington was released Monday from police custody to other supervision, two days after she held police in an hourslong standoff at her home at 422 Farmington Falls Road.

The standoff began Saturday when police were called to investigate a report of domestic violence and of a self-inflicted injury with a hatchet. When Brown refused to talk with officers, the Maine State Police Tactical Team and a crisis team negotiator were called. Eventually, Brown surrendered peaceably.

Brown was treated at the scene for the self-inflicted injury to her arm and taken to Franklin Memorial Hospital for a mental health evaluation. She was later moved to the Franklin County Detention Center.

On Monday, her trial was set for Feb. 7 to answer a charge of domestic violence assault. She was released without bail.
