Prisoner assaults jail guard with own badge
By Walter Griffin

BELFAST, Maine - A prisoner who told officers he had nothing to lose by his actions ripped the badge from the shirt of a Waldo County Jail corrections officer and assaulted him with it.
Scott Noble, 25, of Belfast was charged with assault on a corrections officer after the Sunday afternoon incident at the jail.
"He told the officers he wasn’t worried and that he had nothing to lose because he was facing 40 years in prison," Chief Deputy Robert Keating said Monday.
Keating said Noble was being held at the Maine State Prison but was relocated to Belfast over the weekend to attend jury selection in Waldo County Superior Court on Monday. He was arrested on May 2, 2006, in Belfast after he allegedly stabbed another man in the back during a dispute. He was charged with elevated aggravated assault, aggravated assault and violation of conditions of release and is scheduled to go to trial this month.
Keating said Noble had been "disruptive" since he arrived at the jail from the prison. On Sunday, he attempted to dismantle the security camera in his cell. Keating said Noble repeatedly ignored orders to stop what he was doing.
