Ryan Albright was arrested after an incident on Saturday

The President and CEO of Covered Bridge Chips in Waterville remains in a Bangor, Maine jail cell on Monday, Oct. 21, following his arrest early Saturday morning on a charge of domestic violence assault.

Jake McAmbley, public information officer with the Bangor Police Department, explained that the police responded to a call shortly after midnight on Saturday, Oct. 19.

He said police arrested the 44-year-old Ryan Albright at approximately 1 a.m., shortly after arriving at the Bangor, Maine, residence. He said he is not sure who owns or lives at the residence.

McAmbley said the victim, who he didn’t identify, sustained minor injuries that didn’t require treatment at a hospital.

Albright remains at the Penobscot County Jail without bail. The jail message system said there is no projected release date.

Asked whether Albright’s Canadian status would factor into his efforts to secure bail, McAmbley said, “I would think that would make a difference.”

McAmbley said domestic violence is a serious issue in Bangor and throughout Maine.

“Most of the murders in Maine are related to domestic violence,” he said.
