A man in jail for Class A aggravated drug trafficking was rearrested after he allegedly attacked another prisoner.

Casey Kleykamp, 28, of Boothbay was arrested Aug. 3 and charged with Class D assault and Class E violating the conditions of his release after he allegedly struck fellow inmate Stacy Parker.

According to the report from Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Rubashkin, Two Bridges Regional Jail staff were alerted to a potential fight in the R6 housing unit in the jail. Rubashkin wrote that Kleykamp had allegedly approached the pod officer and asked to be let into Parker's cell to bring him some water. Rubashkin wrote that once Kleykamp was inside the cell, he allegedly struck a sleeping Parker several times.

According to the report, Parker had several bruises and scrapes on his face near his left eye.

According to the affidavit, Parker said he believed the attack was due to Kleykamp reading a newspaper article where Parker's alleged criminal charges were listed. Parker allegedly said that he and Kleykamp had previously traveled on the same extradition bus back to Lincoln County.

When Rubashkin spoke with Kleykamp, he allegedly refused to talk about the alleged assault, but did reportedly say that he “had a personal problem with Parker due to Parker lying to him about his charges.”

Rubashkin wrote that Kleykamp was allegedly visibly angry during the interview to the point that he began shaking.

Parker, 37, of Little Elm, Texas, was arrested July 1 in Texas on a Lincoln County warrant for Class B unlawful sexual contact. Parker is alleged to have abused a child on Westport Island in 2010, and was extradited back to Maine to face charges. He is being held on $25,000 cash bail with a Sept. 14 court date.

Kleykamp was arrested July 22 and charged with Class A aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs, namely heroin, and Class C illegal importation of scheduled drugs. He was being held on $50,000 cash bail and was ordered to have no contact with convicted drug traffickers Allina Diaz and Nathan Brewer, both of Wiscasset. He was also court-ordered to not commit any new crimes and not to leave the state. Kleykamp has pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Diaz was sentenced to four years in prison with all but four months suspended and two years of probation after being convicted of one count of Class B trafficking in May. Brewer was sentenced to 10 years in prison with all but five years suspended and four years of probation after pleading guilty to Class A aggravated trafficking. According to court documents, Diaz and Brewer were importing heroin from a California source. At the time of his arrest, Kleykamp was living in Sacramento, California.

According to Maine Drug Enforcement Agency’s indictment, Kleykamp is alleged to have trafficked more than six grams, or more than 270 baggies of heroin between March 2, 2014, and July 31, 2014.

Kleykamp also pleaded not guilty to both the assault charge and the violating of conditions charge. He is being held on $1,000 personal recognizance bail. He will have a court date Sept. 14 at Lincoln County Courthouse in Wiscasset.

If convicted, Kleykamp could face several years in prison; Class A crimes are punishable by up to 20 years in prison and up to a $50,000 fine. Class C crimes are also felonies and are punishable by up to five years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. Class D crimes are misdemeanors and are punishable by up to 364 days in jail and up to a $2,000 fine; and Class E crimes are also misdemeanors and are punishable by up to six months in jail and up to a $1,000 fine.

Parker could face up to 10 years in prison and up to a $20,000 fine, as Class B crimes are also felonies.
