Woman claims boyfriend threatened to kill her

A Bangor woman told police that her live-in boyfriend threatened to kill her when she returned home from a bar after he did early Saturday morning.

The woman said that she called home before she left the bar and boyfriend George Pinkham, 37, told her not to come home, reported Officer Brent Beaulieu. The door to their second-floor apartment was open when she got home, about 1 a.m. and she went in. Inside, they argued, with Pinkham yelling and screaming at his girlfriend as well as tossing things around the apartment, according to the police report.

Pinkham also kicked the refrigerator, knocking some things down and spilling a large amount of macaroni onto the floor, the report said. During the tirade, the woman said, Pinkham threatened to kill her and anyone she brought home with her. The woman told Beaulieu that she feared for her safety, believing that Pinkham would follow through on his threat.

Pinkham left before police arrived but was found downstairs in his mother’s apartment. Pinkham told the officer that nothing had happened and that there had been no problems with his girlfriend. He also claimed that his girlfriend had knocked over the macaroni.

Beaulieu arrested Pinkham, charging him with criminal threatening.

As a bouncer broke up a fight at Benjamin’s in Bangor early Saturday morning, one of the combatants kicked her legs up and struck another woman in the stomach.

Confronted about the incident, Kellee M. Rowles, 22, of Brewer admitted she had been thrashing about and may have unintentionally kicked another woman as a bouncer was pulling her away from the woman she was fighting, according to the police report.

Witnesses told Officer James Hassard that the woman she kicked was struck one to three times in the stomach.

Rowles was summoned on a charge of assault.

A Bangor woman told police that she slapped a girl on the face for making a disparaging remark to her, but denied threatening her Friday evening.

Kandra Gray, 18, claimed that it was the 17-year-old girl who had initiated the confrontation, that she had just seen a friend of hers on Main Street and called him over. The other teen-ager tagged along and called her something offensive, she told Officer Steve Jordan. So she slapped the girl.

The other girl, however, said that Gray had seen her walking toward Burger King and had yelled to her to come talk to her. Gray then accused the girl of causing Gray to be expelled from high school.

The girl denied being the cause and said Gray slapped her. She also told Jordan that Gray threatened to kill her if she left the Burger King.

Gray was summoned for assault and asked police if she could combine her court appearance on this charge with her court appearance on a previous assault charge.
