An altercation in a car Saturday night continued onto an Old Town street where police found a 41-year-old woman apparently taking a swing at her son.
Mary Attean, 41, of Old Town faces a charge of domestic assault on her 20-year-old son as well as simple assault for punching a passenger earlier in the car.
Called to South Brunswick Street near Perkins Avenue about 8:30 p.m., Officer Chris Hashey said he found Attean and her son on the road and that it appeared Attean was swinging at her son. Several officers separated the two.
Although Attean wouldn’t say anything, her son told police that while he was driving, his mother punched front-seat passenger Donna Couturier, 35, of Old Town in the face. The son told police he stopped the car, got out, then confronted his mother outside the car about punching Couturier. His mother came after him and he was fending her off when she punched him in the neck, the man reported.
As police talked with the son, Officer Todd Nadeau noticed that Couturier appeared to be trying to drive away in the car. Nadeau stopped the car before it got too far and took Couturier into custody. She has a conditional license that prohibits her from having any alcohol and driving.
On Saturday, Couturier’s blood alcohol level registered 0.11 percent, more than the legal limit of 0.08 percent, and she was summoned for operating a motor vehicle beyond the conditional license restrictions.
A Bangor woman reported that her ex-boyfriend tried to convince her to come outside her apartment early Saturday and that when she refused, he tried to break in.
Todd A. Ayer, 31, faces charges of attempted burglary, criminal threatening and criminal mischief after the incident outside his former girlfriend’s apartment at 102 Birch St.
Ayer first spoke to the 25-year-old woman through her bedroom window, confronting her about 2 a.m., but his demands that she talk with him at that early hour were rebuffed. She told police that she headed to the other side of the apartment while Ayer moved to the back door, where he reiterated his demands, this time saying that if she didn’t come out to talk with him, “I’m going to tweak.”
Ayer then began kicking the door, prompting the woman to run upstairs to a neighbor’s apartment. The neighbor called police.
Ayer couldn’t be found outside the apartment, reported Officer Russell Twaddell. But while the officer was speaking with the woman, her telephone rang. Her answering machine recorded some heavy breathing, and the Caller ID box showed the call was coming from a pay phone at the Broadway Coffee Shop.
Officer Chad Foley had been in the area searching for Ayer and headed for the coffee shop, finding Ayer walking on Congress Street headed toward French Street. When Ayer saw Foley’s cruiser, he ran between two nearby houses, but he was apprehended shortly after Foley cornered him at a fence.
A Patten man suspected of concealing drugs had one sneaker on and the other in his hand when he decided to make a run from Brewer police late Thursday night.
Israel Phillips didn’t get far before Sgt. Chris Martin grabbed him, preventing the 22-year-old man from throwing his sneaker away. The sneaker contained OxyContin and Vicodin pills, according to police.
Phillips had been part of a small group of people spotted outside the Big Apple convenience store on Wilson Street about 11:30 p.m. The smell of marijuana had prompted a call to police.
Martin found two cars with several people nearby and Phillips at the steering wheel of one of the vehicles. Martin reported that as he approached the car, he saw what he believed to be Phillips trying to conceal something near his feet. Martin also could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle, according to police.
Confronted about the marijuana odor outside the car, Phillips handed Martin a small bag containing marijuana. Martin had Phillips take off his sneakers, and a few pills fell out as Phillips removed one sneaker. Phillips started to scoop them up and put them back into the sneaker, according to police. Phillips then fled with the sneaker in his hand, but was captured a short distance away.
During his investigation, Martin determined that Phillips had been providing marijuana to the people outside of the Big Apple, which is located near Brewer High School grounds and Stillwater Academy. He charged Phillips with aggravated furnishing of marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school as well as possession of scheduled drugs, refusal to submit to an arrest and possession of a usable amount of marijuana.
Police spotted two men carrying a gravestone as they walked along Ohio Street not far from Rogan’s Memorials late Saturday night.
When they saw the cruiser, both men dropped the 12-inch-by-24-inch stone and continued walking along the sidewalk.
Officer George Spencer recognized one of the men as Sean Hanson, 19, a transient, and subsequently identified the other man as Heath R. Simpson, 22, of Glenburn. A third man had been present but was walking about 10 paces ahead of the two, seemingly not wanting to have anything to do with the other two men, Spencer reported.
Both initially denied doing anything wrong. Spencer reported that while speaking to them, Hanson inched his way toward the grass where he dropped two cans of beer. Both were charged with theft and Hanson also was charged with possession of alcohol by a minor.
Further questioned by Spencer, Hanson ultimately admitted they had taken the gravestone because “it seemed like a good idea at the time.”
