Arrests follow ignored warnings

Three men were arrested early Sunday morning outside the Ramada Inn in Bangor on charges of criminal trespass after each reportedly was warned several times to leave.

Brian Scott, 27, was escorted out of the hotel bar after police saw him argue with a woman and apparently throw a drink on her, according to Officer Brad Johnston’s police report.

Scott left in a taxi but showed up minutes later, at which time he was arrested. He struggled as he was being handcuffed and, while officers subdued him, two other men, David Dykeman, 25, and Todd Bickford, 26, approached the policemen in a confrontational manner, the report stated.

Officer Erik Tall extended his baton as the men approached him, according to Tall’s report, and both Dykeman and Bickford backed away.

The men were asked to leave, but, like Scott, both showed up at the bar again.

Bickford was arrested without incident, but Dykeman fought with police and Tall had to use a pressure point to restrain him, the officer’s report said. Tall also wrote that he injured his arm and back in the altercation.

All three were charged with criminal trespassing. Scott and Dykeman also were charged with refusing to submit to arrest, and Dykeman was charged with assault.
