    Brandy Lyn Sproul, 34, of Topsham, operating under the influence (alcohol), $500 fine, license suspended 150 days.

    Brian Stanley Tarbox, 53, of Spruce Head, violating trap limits, $500 fine; violation of lobster crab fishing rule, Chapter 25, $250 fine, suspended.

    Jeremy S. Vandyne, 45, of Matinicus, domestic violence criminal threatening, dismissed; domestic violence assault, dismissed; assault, $500 fine, 364 days in prison with all suspended, probation one year; assault, $500 fine, 364 days in prison all suspended; domestic violence assault, dismissed. Vandyne was arrested by the Knox County Sheriff’s Office and charged with three counts of domestic violence and aggravated assault. After pleading guilty to the charges, Vandyne was placed on a deferred disposition for one year.

    The conditions of the deferred disposition included evaluations for substance abuse, mental health, anger management and domestic abuse counseling. Additionally, Vandyne could not possess or use illegal drugs, dangerous weapons and not consume alcohol in an excessive amount (.08 or higher) and would be randomly tested, according to the court document.

    Vandyne successfully met all of the conditions of the deferred disposition the past 12 months, so the domestic violence criminal threatening charge was dropped and the two charges of domestic violence assaults were reduced to two counts of simple assault. Now, his sentence after a year of adhering to the conditions include 364 days in jail, all suspended, two $500 fines and one year of probation.

    If Vandyne failed to meet the terms of the deferred disposition, he would have faced an open plea to domestic violence criminal threatening and two counts of domestic assault with a sentence of 364 days in jail.

    The Knox County Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic complaint on the island just before midnight July 21, 2016, after a complainant reported being approached on foot by a juvenile seeking help. According to Chief Deputy Tim Carroll in a news release, the complainant was walking home when the juvenile approached her, asking for help as Vandyne and a woman were fighting.

    The juvenile allegedly told the complainant that Vandyne had tried to choke him, as well, according to Carroll.

    Police arrived at the residence and spoke with the woman regarding the complaint. Vandyne was not at the residence at the time, but showed up a short time later. The victim stated that she had been thrown down twice onto the floor and threatened to have her "head bashed in."

    Vandyne reportedly received a cut on his hand and face by a knife that was involved in the altercation with the two victims. The juvenile grabbed a kitchen knife to protect himself because he felt threatened, according to the court document.

    Christian T. Wall, 20, of Rockland, unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs, dismissed; unlawful trafficking in scheduled drug, $400 fine, three years in jail with all but 30 days suspended, probation two years, restitution $280; violating condition of release, two counts, 14 days in jail.
