The death of a teenage boy in Sidney has been ruled a homicide.
Kennebec County Deputies conducted a wellness check after a call from a woman who reported an incident at her home on Summerhaven Road early Friday morning.
Deputies arrived to find a 14-year-old boy dead outside the home.
39-year-old Megan McDonald was taken into custody Friday afternoon and charged with murder.
