Woman calls police, reports bite on face Bangor man charged with domestic assault

A Bangor man faces an assault charge after it was reported he became jealous and bit his girlfriend on the face while she was playing a video game late Tuesday night.

Robert Alfred Cormier, 36, of Bangor was arrested on two warrants but also charged with the domestic assault on his 36-year-old girlfriend and for providing a false name to a law enforcement officer.

The girlfriend reported the incident about midnight, calling police from the Irving Mainway store on the Odlin Road, near Days Inn, where she and Cormier had been staying and near Miami North, where the reported assault had taken place.

She identified her boyfriend and assailant as Eddy Irving and told Officer Douglas Moore she didn’t want him arrested, she just wanted to get her belongings from Room 130 in the motel. The girlfriend showed Moore the red mark on her right cheek where she said her boyfriend had bit her, apparently after becoming jealous that she was standing near another man while playing the Pacman arcade game.

Moore and other officers found her boyfriend in the foyer of the Days Inn, but a records check came up empty for the Irving name and the Social Security number Cormier gave authorities. Moore went back to the room and spoke again with the girlfriend who revealed her boyfriend’s real name.

She also admitted that she was afraid of Cormier and said that “he’s going to kill me,” telling Moore that Cormier had told her never to cross him. The woman also told Moore that Cormier told her she was lucky that’s all he had done to her, according to the police report.

Moore reviewed previous incidents Cormier has had with police and noted that they included terrorizing and assault, one of them a previous incident where it was reported Cormier bit a girlfriend on the face.

A Bangor man was charged with assault after it was reported that he removed his IV while at St. Joseph Hospital and intentionally sprayed his blood on a doctor and nurse.

Apparently intoxicated, Randolph Sands, 40, went through on a threat to splatter several people inside the Bangor hospital’s emergency room Monday night.

One of the people sprayed by the blood was the physician who had seen Sands that night. He told Officer Brad Johnston that Sands wasn’t allowed to leave because of his condition. The doctor told a nurse that Sands could leave only if he showed signs that he could take care of himself, including putting on his own clothes and being steady on his feet.

The police were called about 9:30 p.m., but Sands apparently was leaving on his own when police were arriving.

He was located later when he called for an ambulance to take him to Eastern Maine Medical Center for another health problem, Johnston reported. The officer summoned Sands for the assault.

Less than a day later, Sands found himself on the wrong side of the law again and was arrested. Bangor police officers were called about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday to 68 Jefferson St. where a woman wanted a man removed her residence.

Officer Edward A. Mercier found Sands sitting in a stairwell inside the home. The woman told Mercier that she hadn’t invited Sands over and that she did not want him to return, ever.

Sands was told that if he returned, he would be arrested, and Sands apologized before heading off. About 45 minutes later, Mercier drove by and saw Sands walking back into the residence, according to the police report. Mercier arrested Sands, charging him with criminal trespass and with violation of bail conditions.
