The warrant for Lanigan was for one count of domestic violence aggravated assault, which was based on reports given to the Sanford Police Department on Friday. According to information shared by Mark Dyer, major of support services and logistics for the department, Lanigan turned himself in around 9:30 a.m.
Dyer said the investigation is still ongoing.
The Portland Press Herald reported that police searched for Lanigan over the weekend before he turned himself in.
Lanigan, who lives in Springvale and is wrapping up his first term as a state legislator, is up for reelection for his seat in the Maine House of Representatives. He is facing Democrat Patricia Kidder.
