Police charge woman for biting man, assault

OLD TOWN – An Old Town woman is being charged with assaulting her live-in girlfriend and for biting a man who tried to intercede in the fight late Friday night.

Lillie Harriman, 23, was arrested by Old Town police Officer Marc Egan, who went to the Shelter Lane residence to investigate a report of a fight. Witnesses reported that Harriman broke dishes on the floor and grabbed her girlfriend by the throat. When a 24-year-old man, who was there with his girlfriend, tried to step between her, Harriman bit the man on the left biceps.

Harriman would admit only to biting the man and denied ever touching her girlfriend during the argument, Egan reported. Harriman was charged with domestic assault and assault.

BANGOR – An intoxicated Court Street woman wreaked havoc at two different city locations Sunday afternoon with her 1989 Ford Bronco SUV.

Tekawitha Robinson, 33, hit a parked vehicle on Ohio Street at 1 p.m. and caused an estimated $4,000 of damage.

She fled the scene of the crime, leaving a broken headlight from her vehicle behind on the pavement. An eyewitness jotted down the license plate number of her Bronco, and Officer Russell Twaddell was looking for her when he responded at 2:58 p.m. to another call at 120 Court St., where Robinson had hit the residential building with her SUV and was trying to leave.

“She was frantically trying to get unstuck,” Twaddell said. “She was stuck in a rut in the driveway.”

Twaddell gave her field sobriety tests, which she did not pass, he said. Robinson’s blood-alcohol level registered at 0.08 percent.

He estimated that her vehicle had $1,000 in damage during the afternoon’s incidents.

The officer charged Robinson with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants, operating after suspension of her license and leaving the scene of an accident.

She was taken to Penobscot County Jail, where she awaits arraignment.

BANGOR – Ketchup graffiti was the only clue to unknown vandals who broke into the Union Street Athletics complex over the weekend.

Officers investigating the break-in found “Capehart Crew” scrawled over the floor in the condiment.

Nothing appeared to be taken from the complex, although the two exterior doors forced open by the intruders had $400 in damages officers estimated.
