STANDISH, Maine — Two men were arrested Thursday after a violent altercation between a female landlord and a male tenant.
Deputies say they arrived in the middle of the assault between John Siciliani, 34, and his landlord at 2 Deerfield Lane in Standish. They forced their way into the home and when they tried to arrest Siciliani, they say he punched a deputy in the face and escaped out a window. K-9's were released and tracked him not far from the home. Deputies arrested him after tazing him twice.
Siciliani was wanted on an unrelated felony arrest warrant and has a significant criminal history involving violence with weapons and assaults, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
