MASARDIS, Maine (AP) A Maine man accused of pouring gasoline on a couple’s front door and later locking them inside their home has been arrested.

Maine State Police Cpl. Dennis Quint says Brandon Saucier faces charges of criminal restraint and terrorizing. Quint says officers responded to a home in Masardis on Friday to investigate a complaint that someone placed a padlock on the front door. An investigation revealed that someone poured gasoline on the couple’s front door and left the can on their steps about a week before.

Saucier is scheduled to make his initial court appearance this week. A court clerk says he has no attorney.
