Man allegedly takes spark plugs from girlfriend’s pickup truck

A Bangor man was arrested Monday evening after he allegedly removed the spark plugs from his girlfriend’s truck and then left on foot.

Bangor police Officer Kerry Libby reported that at about 5:15 p.m., she went to a French Street address to investigate a domestic dispute. A woman met her at the door saying she was just arguing with her boyfriend, John Iwaniszek, 45, of Bangor.

The woman said Iwaniszek had been drinking all weekend. She had told him to leave Sunday night. He refused and became angry and broke her phone, she said. He also made two holes in the wall.

The woman told Libby that she asked Iwaniszek to leave Monday afternoon. He left on foot, taking with him the plugs to her pickup truck.

Libby went to a vacant house where Iwaniszek had been doing some repair work. He handed back the plugs, Libby said.

She arrested him for domestic criminal mischief. Officer Ed Mercier took him to jail.

A man who allegedly harassed his ex-girlfriend for 18 months after their breakup was summoned early Tuesday in Bangor.

Bangor police Officer Chris Desmond reported that at about 6 p.m., a woman came to the station saying that for a year and a half she had been receiving obscene and threatening phone messages and e-mails from her ex-boyfriend, Adam Rodriguez, 22, of Bangor.

The woman said Rodriguez would swear at her and make obscene gestures if they met in public.

At 8 p.m. the woman returned to the station, saying that while she was at Coffee Express on Main Street, Rodriguez drove up and yelled at her and her boyfriend, saying he was going to kill them. He fled when the woman called the police.

At about 1 a.m. Tuesday, Rodriguez came to the station and was issued a summons by Lt. Mark Hathaway for criminal threatening.
