CASCO — The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday released a sketch of the suspect wanted for entering a Casco home Monday evening and violently beating the 31-year-old resident.

Sheriff’s deputies went to Timbuktu Drive, off Tenney Hill Road, at 6:10 p.m. Monday for a report that an unknown man had arrived at the home, knocked on the door and then violently beat the man inside almost to the point of unconsciousness, according to a release from the sheriff’s office.

The alleged victim’s girlfriend was present at the time of the attack and was not injured.
