Keith Coleman, of Garland, about 28 miles northwest of
Bangor, was charged with three counts of murder and was awaiting
a first court appearance either Monday or Tuesday, Maine State
Police said in a news release.
He had been sought in connection with the killing of his
girlfriend Christina Sargent, 36 and her two children, ages 8
and 10, at the mobile home they shared with Coleman, police
said.
Detectives have not said how they think the family was killed
and an autopsy was scheduled for Monday.
Coleman was taken into custody at an apartment in Bucksport
after police received a tip, state police said.
It was unclear if Coleman had obtained an attorney or how he
intended to plead.
