A Bangor man was issued a summons for terrorizing after he allegedly threatened a local seamstress’s life for doing a poor job altering his friend’s skirt.
Lee Mockler, 46, entered Linda’s Alterations at 8:30 a.m. Thursday. He was very upset, according to the store owner.
Mockler told the seamstress that because his friend was not satisfied with the skirt he had spent an “extremely bad night” with her, according to police reports.
As Mockler left the store, he told the seamstress that if she told Mockler’s friend that he had come to the store, he would kill the seamstress.
Responding Officer Paul Colley said that the woman was crying and was visibly shaken after the incident.
She told Colley that she feared for her life and thought Mockler would hurt her.
Colley contacted Mockler, who said he wanted to apologize for his actions at Linda’s Alterations but denied having made a death threat. In addition to his summons for terrorizing, he was issued a criminal trespass warning for the business and given the controversial skirt to take home.
An intoxicated Frankfort man caused a crash at the intersection of Ohio Street and Griffin Road in Bangor at 12:13 a.m. Thursday, according to officers.
After running a flashing red light with his pickup truck, Michael Valliere, 38, collided with a car turning left onto outer Ohio Street. He pushed the car at least 30 yards off the road and into the woods, according to officers who arrived at the scene.
Officers reported smelling alcohol on Valliere’s breath. When asked how much he had drunk that night, Valliere admitted to having three or four beers at a friend’s house.
His performance on the field sobriety tests, however, indicated slightly more alcohol consumed. Valliere registered 0.174 percent on the Intoxilyzer test, more than twice Maine’s legal limit.
He was arrested, charged with operating under the influence and taken to Penobscot County Jail.
A Bangor man who passed a police car with his 1993 Ford Tempo was arrested early Thursday morning and charged with operating after suspension.
Noah Capetta, 21, allegedly sped up and passed a police car traveling at 25 mph on State Street. The officer stopped Capetta and noticed the Tempo had a leaking exhaust and a missing rearview mirror.
Capetta became increasingly argumentative during his conversation with the officer, according to police reports.
When the officer discovered that Capetta’s license had been suspended previously, the Bangor man apparently became even less cooperative.
He was taken to Penobscot County Jail in handcuffs.
