WALDOBORO – Three Friendship men have been charged in the shooting incidents that were reported throughout Waldoboro and Knox County during the early morning hours of March 15, according to a news release from Waldoboro Police Chief Bill Labombarde, April 24.
Charged in the shootings were Joshua Reed, 27, Ryan Delano, 19, and Ethan Reed, 19, all from Friendship. All three men were charged with criminal mischief (a Class D felony) and reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon (a Class C felony).
As a result of the multi-agency investigation involving the Knox County Sheriff’s Office and the Maine Warden Service, information and evidence were collected that lead to identifying the alleged suspects, said Labombarde.
On March 24, Knox County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Tim Carroll, issued a press release stating that police felt the shootings were isolated incidents.
"The individuals involved have been identified by law enforcement and we feel these were isolated incidents and the public should feel safer with the information we have obtained,” said Carroll. “Names will be released at the appropriate time, but until then, trust that we feel confident that no one is in particular further danger related to these complaints."
Carroll added that on March 23 that firearms and evidence were seized and the names of the suspects were being withheld pending review by the District Attorney's Office for the appropriate charges.
Currently, additional charges against the three men could be forthcoming pending the outcome of a thorough review of the evidence from the Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office in Wiscasset, confirmed Labombarde.
