Corinth man faces domestic assault charge

A woman went to visit a co-worker who was preparing for surgery Tuesday, but reported that the man the woman lives with barged in and assaulted them both, before heading off in her car to pick up their son at day care.

The alleged attacker, Calvin Lombard, 28, of Corinth, didn’t have an active license at the time, as apparently it had been suspended for a previous violation. Lombard now faces charges of burglary, assault, domestic assault, violation of conditions of release, and operating a motor vehicle after license suspension.

The woman said that while at her co-worker’s home to wish him well on his surgery, Lombard knocked on the door. When the door was opened, he pushed his way in.

He struck her in the chest, pushing her back several feet, she told Bangor police Officer James Dearing. She said Lombard then turned his attention to the man, who was sitting on a couch. The woman said that Lombard “totally attacked him,” hitting the man several times before knocking him to the floor where he continued the assault.

Even though his license had been suspended, Lombard took her keys and her car, without her permission, saying that he was going to pick up their son at day care.

A police officer was waiting for Lombard to come out of the Charles Street day care center. Lombard didn’t deny hitting the man, rather he told Officer Steve Jordan that he was let in and “Pow! I let him have it.”

Lombard also advised Jordan that he had better take him to jail, otherwise he was headed back to Hammond Street to finish off what he had started. Jordan sought to take pictures of Lombard’s bloody knuckles, which Lombard claimed were cut while at work, not from punching the other man.

A loud party on Court Street in Bangor prompted two visits by police, the second one ending with the arrest of two people.

Called to 98 Court St., just down the road from the police station, shortly after 1 a.m. for a noise complaint, Bangor police officers issued warnings the first time. The loud music easily could be heard outside the apartment in the hallway, reported Officer Erik Tall.

It was also loud on the second visit about 2:15 a.m. although after Tall knocked on the door, the music was turned down and someone inside was heard ushering everyone out the back door.

Tall tried to get inside the apartment, but Isaac Wright, 23, blocked his way, according to the police report, holding his hand up as if to stop the officer. Tall grabbed the man’s wrist and tried to get Wright to come outside, but reported Wright tried to pull himself back into the apartment.

The struggle continued out in the narrow hallway where Wright was thrashing his arms about and pushing the officers’ arms away from him, Tall reported.

Wright was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and failure to submit to an arrest.

Outside, one of the other party participants vented his anger at police, walking up and down the middle of the street, shouting, “This is stupid.”

Despite warning for him to quiet down, Nathaniel Spearing, 26, of Bangor continued to be loud, according to the police report; walking away only to turn and begin shouting again.

He shouted three times, prompting the police to run up after him and arrest him, charging him with disorderly conduct.

When Raymond A. Frenier, 45, didn’t answer his door, a Bangor police officer resorted to bringing in the Fire Department to force it open, without damaging the door.

Bangor police Officer Steve Jordan wanted to know what had happened that night and why Frenier’s live-in girlfriend of three years claimed he had slapped her on both cheeks and then dumped beer on her. Her hair was wet as was some of her clothing, and she smelled of beer.

“It was nothing,” was the only explanation the apparently intoxicated man offered.

The woman also wanted Frenier removed from their home at 69 First St., and Jordan arrested him, charging Frenier with domestic assault.

Frenier apparently was surprised that he would be arrested for dumping beer on the woman he lived with.

On the way to the cruiser, Frenier yelled at her, telling her he’d be back, according to the police report.

Donna Beadnell, 45, of Old Town was brought to Eastern Maine Medical Center by ambulance early Wednesday morning, but once there refused treatment and allegedly assaulted an emergency room nurse.

The nurse told Officer Russell Twaddell that he had been taking Beadnell to the waiting room after she refused treatment and that on the way there, Beadnell shoved him from behind. The nurse showed the officer an injury suffered as a result, including a red mark that was swollen.

She was charged with assault on an emergency health care provider.
