A Union Street woman told Bangor police that she was watching television Sunday night when a man she didn’t know broke down her front door and just stood in the hallway.
The 300-plus pound man was still there when police arrived at 678 Union St., Apt. No. 28. Officer Dan Herrick reported that the man, Clyde “Bud” Connolly, 66, seemed intoxicated and was having difficulty standing.
Connolly provided no explanation for why he barged into the apartment, damaging the door frame. But Herrick reported that Connolly apparently was a neighbor of the woman, who he lives in Apartment No. 8 in the same complex.
Herrick charged Connolly with criminal trespass and with criminal mischief.
Bangor police removed a 24-year-old man from the dance floor and the building at Barnaby’s Restaurant early Sunday morning and then charged him with disorderly conduct when he refused to quiet down or leave.
A man had approached police inside the night spot telling them “You better come get this guy before he gets knocked out,” reported Officer Douglas Moore.
About a minute later, Officer Shawn Green and Lt. Robert Welch, who were working a detail at Barnaby’s, were seen removing the man, who had his feet out in front of him, resisting, Moore reported. The man was identified as Bruce Whitney of Market Street in Bangor. Outside Barnaby’s, Whitney continued to walk around, calling the police “pigs” and being belligerent, according to the police report.
He went into the adjacent Ramada Inn suggesting to police that he wanted a room, then told the officers he wanted to call a cab, even though there were at least two taxi cabs outside waiting. Outside again, Whitney confronted the man who had alerted police to Whitney on the dance floor and pressed the man to fight him. First a woman stepped between the two, then police intervened when Whitney continued to press the man to fight. Whitney was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct.
