SOUTHPORT ISLAND

On Thursday at 10:48 p.m., the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported shooting at 3 Church St. on Southport Island.

Allan F. Wigglesworth, 34, of Thomaston was taken into custody and charged with elevated aggravated assault (class A felony), aggravated assault (class B) and aggravated criminal trespass (class C felony), police said.

According to police, Wigglesworth and two other adults were at the residence at the time of the incident. The firearm, a .22 caliber rifle was recovered at the scene.

A 24-year-old female victim was transported by Boothbay Region Ambulance with a gunshot wound to her right arm and was transferred to Lifeflight and flown to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston with a non-life threatening injury.

Police say a 38-year-old male victim was not wounded by the firearm but rather sustained injuries from a physical altercation, and was transported to Lincoln Health Miles Campus by Boothbay Region Ambulance and treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Wigglesworth and the two victims were known to each other, according to police, who said they consider it a domestic violence incident, based upon the relationship between the suspect and the female victims.

Police say this was an isolated incident. The investigation is ongoing at this time and additional charges are possible.

Sheriff’s Deputies and Detectives were assisted at the scene by Boothbay Harbor Police Department.
