Woman arrested in knife-throwing incident

Old Town police arrested a woman after she allegedly threw knives at her boyfriend early Friday.

Officer Seth Burnes reported that he and Sgt. Scott Casey went to a Front Street apartment to investigate a stabbing report. They met a man in the driveway with a sock wrapped around his bleeding hand.

The man told the officers he had gotten into an argument with his girlfriend, Amy Goode, 25, over another man. He said Goode, who was on the second-floor balcony, became upset and threw kitchen knives down at him, one of which sank into his hand.

Goode was arrested on aggravated assault charges and taken to jail. Her boyfriend went to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.

A series of personal crises reportedly arose for an alleged shoplifter just after she was taken to the manager’s office at Shaw’s Supermarket on Main Street on Thursday afternoon.

Bangor police Officer Tyler Leighton reported that he spoke to a loss prevention officer at Shaw’s at about 3 p.m. who said she saw Ashley Steward, 20, put several beauty items in a gift bag and then walk out of the store without paying.

The worker told Leighton she confronted Steward and took her to the office. The woman had hose, liquid makeup, body gel, diapers and more than a dozen sticks of lipstick in the gift bag. The worker said Steward became frantic, saying she left the store because she just received a phone call saying her son was sick and had been taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

When the worker let Steward use the phone, she said, Steward’s conversation went on for about five minutes without having anything to do with a sick child. The worker insisted Steward hang up.

Steward then said she had to go to the bathroom urgently. When the worker refused to let her go, she said, Steward urinated on the floor.

Officer Leighton summoned Steward for theft and took her to Penobscot County Jail.

Bangor police summoned a Glenburn woman after she allegedly stole bracelets for her daughter Friday afternoon.

Officer Robert Hutchings reported that an employee at the Eastern Maine Medical Center gift shop told him she saw Kim Fournier, 25, try on bracelets and put them in her purse. As Fournier was leaving, the employee stopped her. She said Fournier admitted taking the bracelets, worth $25.89.

Fournier reportedly said she took the jewelry for her daughter.
