Youth Is Fined $100 On Simple Assault Charge

An Arundel youth, William E. Martel, 17, was fined $100 and given a suspended six month jail term on a simple assault conviction after pleading innocent to a felonious assault charge. He was placed on probation for two years and faced accusations tied to an incident on December 10 in Biddeford involving two girls, ages 13 and 17, with a shot fired during the confrontation. Dale Cole, 23, of South Berwick, accompanied him on Main Street, Biddeford.
