Two men were charged Thursday in connection with providing hard liquor to two teenage girls, one of them 15 years old.
The incident came to the attention of Old Town police after the mother of one of the teenagers came into the police station at 7 p.m. with both girls, according to police. One of the girls, age 17, was very intoxicated, said Old Town police Sgt. Michael Hashey.
Officer Stephen Boyd and Hashey went to Water Street to investigate and spoke to two men who live in neighboring apartments.
The officers determined that the two girls had been drinking in the apartment of Christopher Whitten, 20, but that it was Paul Kohles, 21, who had been providing the girls with vodka that evening.
Both men were arrested at 8:30 p.m. with Whitten charged with furnishing a minor with a place to consume alcohol and Kohles charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor.
A Bangor woman told police Wednesday that after an argument with her boyfriend the day before, she left to walk around the block but he followed her and assaulted her.
The 18-year-old woman said she hadn’t gone far when Robert Seeley, 22, grabbed her from behind and put her in a head lock, reported Bangor police Officer Al Woolley. The woman said Seeley then punched her in the head and pushed her to the ground and left her there, according to the police report.
Woolley located Seeley in Brewer and arrested him on a charge of domestic assault.
