A Bangor man faces charges of criminal threatening and bail violation after it was reported he threatened a man on the phone.

During a telephone conversation with a psychologist, Edward Myshrall, 42, became enraged and allegedly told the psychologist that he was going to “come down and punch you in the head,” according to a police report. The psychologist on the other end took the comments seriously and called police, telling Bangor police Officer Chris Desmond that he was concerned that Myshrall would follow through on his threat.

At Myshrall’s Market Street apartment, police learned that Myshrall had already called the other man and apologized for what he said. Officer Larry Morrill told Myshrall that he would summon him and that Myshrall admitted he had told the psychologist that he would hit him in the head. That prompted an admonishment by Myshrall’s girlfriend, who told her boyfriend, “That is what you get for saying stupid things.”

The threat also violated Myshrall’s bail conditions from previous charges, according to police. Morrill reported that Myshrall was out on bail for a felony theft charge, which Morrill had charged Myshrall with previously. Myshrall also had been indicted on criminal threatening and disorderly conduct charges and was out on bail on those charges. Morrill arrested Myshrall and took him to the Penobscot County Jail.

A 17-year-old from Milford has been charged with aggravated forgery after investigators linked him to a phony $50 bill that was passed at a local gas station one week earlier.

The teen-ager was charged Wednesday night and turned over to the custody of his parents, reported Detective William Flagg of the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department. The fake money had been made on a computer and printed out, Flagg said, and while it was far from a professional job, it was sufficient enough to pass a casual look by an employee. The fake bill was initially accepted by an employee of the Exxon gas station, who figured out the scam quickly and managed to get a license plate of the vehicle involved.

Flagg said that the vehicle didn’t belong to the youth but that ultimately the license led him to the 17-year-old. Flagg said that charges against others are likely. The name of the teen-ager wasn’t released since he is a juvenile.

Indicted in early February on forgery, theft and burglary charges, 24-year-old Kevin Moore was nowhere to be found at his scheduled arraignment on Feb. 26.

Bangor police Detective Ed Thorne learned that Moore might be staying in Hampden, at the Park Rest Motel on Route 1A, and on Thursday Thorne went to the motel. He found Moore and his girlfriend in Room No. 6 and arrested him on a warrant issued for failure to appear in court on the previous mentioned charges.
