Police arrested him early Tuesday morning following a confrontation with officers.

They were first sent there to deal with a domestic violence situation in Montville, but it unraveled with Nickerson allegedly causing a standoff.

"Obviously, these charges, the new charges, are extremely serious. Some of the most serious I’ve ever seen here in Waldo County short of an actual murder charge,” said Hon. Eric Walker, with Maine District Court.
