A Garland Street couple with a 9-month-old son awoke early Monday morning to the sounds of someone downstairs in their home.

The husband went downstairs to confront the intruder and told police he saw a man, later identified as Jeffrey Bovat, 20, trying to hide behind the entertainment center. Upstairs, the wife was calling police.

Arriving shortly after 3 a.m., Officer Russell Twaddell found the two men in a heated discussion.

Bovat initially told Twaddell that he had been invited in, although the resident said he didn’t know the man, let alone having invited him in. Bovat admitted to drinking a 40-ounce beer earlier and that he had wanted a place to crash and went to the wrong house.

The wife said that she had locked the door and Twaddell reported finding pry marks on the outside of the door but noted that he wasn’t sure whether the marks had been made recently or not.

Twaddell arrested Bovat, charging him with criminal trespass.

Bangor police broke up a fight outside an Odlin Road lounge early Monday morning and took one man into custody who kept trying to get back into the pile of fighting men.

Police officers were called to Pete and Larry’s Lounge at 1:12 a.m. and found a crowd of about two dozen people around a small gathering of four to five people, piled together fighting. Officers Erik Tall and Brent Beaulieu made their way to the brawling group and started pulling people off, including Michael A. Deveau, 21, of Bangor, who continued to grab onto another person.

Tall said he broke Deveau’s grip and pushed him back from the pile, although Deveau wouldn’t stay away and kept charging back in. Tall pushed him back and Deveau responded by striking Tall’s arms.

Tall arrested Deveau, charging him with assault and disorderly conduct. Deveau repeatedly told police that he hadn’t realized that Tall was a police officer, although Tall was in uniform and it was a well-lit parking lot, according to police.
