BARTON — A local man wanted by police for assault was arrested in Barton early this morning.
Police say Daniel Peters, 27, was located at a home on Maple Hill Road and taken into custody without incident.
Earlier this month police approached two suspicious vehicles parked at the Orleans Library and identified Peters, who was wanted at that time on an outstanding warrant, inside one of the vehicles.
Police ordered the driver, identified as Shannon Wrabel, to stop the vehicle as she attempted to flee.
Wrabel drove off in an aggressive and negligent manner with Peters in the vehicle.
Troopers then met with the driver in the second vehicle, who was identified as Michael Whitcomb.
Police allege that Peters had committed the offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against Whitcomb prior to their arrival.
Wrabel was arrested days later, and police had been looking for Peters since.
Today he was taken to the Northern State Correctional Facility, where he was ordered held without bail.
He faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated disorderly conduct, and reckless endangerment.
