AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) An 18-year-old man accused of being in a car during a drive-by shooting in Maine that injured a 7-year-old girl has been charged with assault.

The Kennebec Journal reports Gavin Loabe was arraigned Monday as testimony in court alleged that he and an unidentified accomplice were involved in a Feb. 28 shooting that mistakenly injured Emahleeah Frost.

Details in court suggest Loabe and his accomplice were seeking to find a person who had allegedly propositioned Loabe’s girlfriend for sex.

The attorney appointed to represent Loabe argues police did not have probable cause to bring a charge of aggravated assault against her client.
