Orono police arrested a man Wednesday night after he allegedly gave drugs to two teenage girls from Lincoln and offered to pay one of them to spend the night with him.

According to Orono police Officer Casey Miller and Sgt. Josh Ewing, police received a call at about 7:30 p.m. from a Lincoln woman who said her ex-boyfriend, Stephen Bowen, 28, had driven a 14-year-old Lincoln girl to the Black Bear Inn in Orono.

Sgt. Ewing said interviews with those involved showed that Bowen gave the girl marijuana on the way to Orono. He allegedly offered to pay her $100 to spend the night with him, Ewing said, but she declined and was returned to Lincoln.

Ewing said Bowen then brought a 15-year-old Lincoln girl to the Black Bear Inn, and that he also gave her marijuana.

Ewing said a search of Bowen’s room at the inn turned up alcohol, drug paraphernalia and a powdery substance called GHB, a so-called “date rape” drug.

Pornographic magazines and a spoon with burnt residue on it were found in Bowen’s car. Ewing said preliminary tests of the residue were positive for crack cocaine.

Bowen, who has lived in Florida, North Carolina, Maryland and Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged with aggravated furnishing of scheduled drugs, possession of scheduled drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. Ewing said Bowen has an active arrest warrant from Maryland for failing to appear to answer drug charges, but he cannot be extradited from Maine. Bail for Bowen was set at $3,000.

Bangor police arrested a Passadumkeag man after he allegedly jumped on his pregnant girlfriend Thursday morning.

Officer Dennis Lally reported that at about 6:30 a.m. he and Officer Paul Colley went to a room at the Ranger Inn on Outer Hammond Street where an argument was taking place.

Lally said he met a woman standing outside with her young daughter, saying she just wanted to leave, but that her boyfriend Paul Davison, 22, of Passadumkeag, had hidden her car keys.

Davison would not tell Colley where the keys were.

The woman told Officer Lally that at about 5:30 Davison woke up and wanted a cigarette. When she told him she didn’t have any, he grabbed for her pack, but she moved it out of his reach.

The woman, who was pregnant, said Davison jumped on her stomach, and that she grabbed his neck to remove him. He then went outside, removed her car keys and hid them.

Lally arrested Davison, charging him with domestic assault. Davison then told Lally, “I think she hid the keys in a box behind the door.” Colley found the keys there, but the woman insisted she didn’t put them there.

Davison denied assaulting his girlfriend, but complained that she scratched his neck, and showed Lally the marks.

A Bangor man was arrested after he allegedly punched his father in Brewer Thursday evening.

Brewer police Cpl. David Lord said that at about 6:15 p.m. he and Officer Rodney Gerald went to a Longmeadow Drive address for an assault complaint. A woman there called 911 after her son Kenneth Lawrence, 40, of Bangor allegedly punched his 72-year-old father in the chest, shoulder and head.

Cpl. Lord said he found Lawrence running through the back yard when he arrived. Lord chased Lawrence and ordered him to stop. He said Lawrence tried to swing a gate in the backyard fence to hit him.

Lord chased Lawrence to a field where Lawrence “faced off” against him until Lord convinced him to give up. They returned to the house where Lawrence was handcuffed for safety reasons during the investigation.

After interviewing those involved, Lord said, Lawrence was arrested and charged with domestic assault and refusing to submit to arrest and detention. Because Lawrence, who was drunk, had driven to his parents’ house, he was also charged with operating under the influence.
