Story here. Excerpt:

'FARMINGTON – A local woman who police said created more than a seven-hour police standoff in December, pleaded guilty Monday to a domestic violence assault charge. The state dismissed a civil violation of creating a police standoff.

Justice Michaela Murphy issued a one-year deferred disposition to Rebekah J. Brown, 38. Brown was directed to return to Franklin County Superior Court in Farmington on March 14, 2014.
...
Police said that Brown assaulted another person with a shovel and struck her own arm with a hatchet before retreating to the house, where there was known to be a loaded firearm.'

Meanwhile, from Maine Governor LePage set to unveil domestic violence proposal:

'The gathering in the State House Hall of Flags was a public service event. However, the governor also foreshadowed some upcoming initiatives he says will strengthen the state's domestic violence laws.
...
The governor noted that the majority of abusers were men; therefore, he said, Maine's laws should be focused accordingly.

"We need to shift domestic violence from a women's problem to a men's problem," he said. "We need to speak up, stand up and man up against domestic violence."'

If you take a look at all the violence being perpetrated in families and those harmed, clearly the gender based perpetrator aspect is as much, or more, female as male so why is this taxpayer funded, domestic violence, hate movement against men being foisted not only in Maine, but the rest of the United States?

From the ManAmongOaks website:

According to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services and DOJ statistics, more kids are killed by neglect and abuse in a year (1,460 in 2005), than all the female intimate partner homicides in in a year (1,181 in 2005). And mothers are the single largest group of kid killers. They have a rate twice that of fathers, yet the taxpayer funded (gender feminist run) domestic violence industry would have us believe that women don't egregiously batter men too. They're lying!

As shown by HHS statistics, the age range for those child homicides is about ten times narrower than that for female intimate partner homicide, making that rate of child homicide far more concentrated. Yet funding to prevent those child homicides is minimal, compared to the billions that go to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

Credible research overwhelmingly shows that the ratio of domestic violence is at least 50/50 between women & men. According to one study by researchers who work at the CDC, in 70 percent of domestic violence incidents, where the domestic violence is not mutual, it's women who initiate the domestic violence.

V.P. Biden recently called violence against women, "the very worst abuse." The very worst abuse is valuing one life less than another for having been born the wrong sex, or the wrong age. Under Biden's Violence Against Women Act the wrong sex is men and the wrong age group is children. Shelter and services are virtually non-existent for male victims of domestic violence (and in some cases men and their children) so those options out of a bad relationship, that are routinely available to women, are very often not available to men. Men wind up gender profiled and often falsely accused by the taxpayer funded, domestic violence industry, because of gender feminist ideology controlling the domestic violence industry. Men are often battered by domestic violence, and then battered again by the taxpayer funded, domestic violence industry.

The taxpayer funded domestic violence industry has largely mischaracterized the true nature of domestic violence from the beginning and continues to mislead the public. Domestic violence law, following the gender feminist agenda/ideology over facts in evidence, does great harm to many innocent men and children (and also many battering women who need help) as shown in Los Misandry at Youtube and Witch-Hunting Males at Youtube.
