Bomb threats empty Old Town restaurant

Governor’s Restaurant in Old Town was evacuated and searched by police and firefighters Tuesday evening after several bomb threats were made.

No bombs were found and the case is under investigation, reported Sgt. Travis Roy of the Old Town Police Department.

The first call came in at about 6 p.m. and Roy said that two others were made, the last one at 6:29 p.m. The restaurant contacted the police after the first phone call and Roy said he advised them to evacuate the customers.

More than 100 people were evacuated in a calm and orderly fashion from the Stillwater Avenue restaurant, according to police.

Roy, Detective Michael Holmes, firefighters and the restaurant’s manager then checked the building’s three floors for anything unusual or out of place, Roy said.

After about 20 minutes of searching, the customers were allowed back in.

A Bangor motorist told police that she saw an intoxicated man talking to himself on the sidewalk of State Street hill Monday morning and that he then approached her car.

The woman told Officer Jeff Small that she quickly rolled up her window and that when he reached the car, he pounded on the driver’s side window several times and hollered “get out of my [expletive] face,” according to the report. Fearful, she drove immediately to the police station.

There were apparently other reports of the 48-year-old transient Robert Allen walking into traffic, reported Officer Shawn Green, who summoned Allen on a charge of disorderly conduct.
