Michael Chasse, 33, was serving sentences on a number of charges, with the most recent one being a 40-year jail sentence after his conviction on two counts of kidnapping for taking hostages at the state prison in 2008, said Judy Plummer, public affairs coordinator for the Maine Department of Corrections.
