BANGOR – A Bangor man faces charges of criminal threatening after allegedly menacing workers from a moving company with a gun Tuesday evening.

Police recovered two guns from the home of Nathan Turner, 56, after he allegedly threatened to shoot two moving company workers because their van was blocking his driveway, Bangor police Officer James Dearing said. Police recovered a plastic replica of a target gun from behind the seat of the man’s own van and also recovered a metal replica of a semi-automatic handgun from his garage.

The man claimed he owned the two guns to shoot crows with, Dearing said. Turner was summoned for criminal threatening and was given a warning for disorderly conduct.

The man told police he had been angry that the movers had refused to move their van from in front of his driveway and had threatened only to hit them, but he admitted he “could have” had one of the guns in his hand at the time.

The moving company workers told police that while they had been moving items into a home on Bolling Drive, Turner had first approached one worker, a black man from Houston, Texas, and, while yelling racial slurs, threatened to kill him, Dearing said. The other worker, a white man from Holden, came out when the Houston man went inside and asked if Turner was going to shoot them, to which Turner allegedly responded by waving the gun threateningly before running to his home.
