Bangor police took a Kenduskeag Avenue man into custody, charging him with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon after it was reported he aimed a shotgun at someone.
Authorities were called to Jefferson Street about 8 p.m. for a report of a man with a shotgun walking along the street. Bangor police Officer Larry Morrill found Lawrence Michels, 31, on Jefferson Street near Kenduskeag Avenue putting the firearm into a pickup truck. Morrill ordered Michels to the ground where the officer handcuffed him.
Michels talked about religion and atheism as he was escorted to a cruiser, and he briefly broke free from police. He was talking fast and his pulse was rapid, according to police who took him to Eastern Maine Medical Center, where he was later summoned. Several other firearms were seized from Michels, according to police.
A Tennessee man is wanted in Bangor and his own state for allegedly buying motor vehicles with bad checks.
An arrest warrant was issued this week from Penobscot County Superior Court for Dennis Morgan, 51, of Memphis, Tenn. On June 6, Morgan paid $22,040 for a 2006 Chrysler HHR at one dealership and $24,766 for a 2006 Ford Mustang coupe at another with checks drawn on a closed account. Morgan is still at large.
The Ford Mustang was recovered at a Second Street residence where Bangor police Officer Butch Moor found a Dodge pickup truck that was purchased in Tennessee by Morgan, also with a bad check, Moor was told.
Two women, who had been living at the Second Street residence, turned in the Chrysler HHR on Wednesday to police in Greenville, Tenn., after Moor contacted the women by cellular phone and told them to surrender the vehicle to the nearest police station.
An Old Town woman parked her car in front of Tim’s Store on Main Street in Old Town around noon Wednesday, only to return to find her purse missing, Sgt. Scott Casey said Wednesday evening.
The woman was “certain she locked the door,” but there were no signs of forced entry, according to the police report.
No money was in her purse at the time; however, there were two prescription bottles for oxycodone. One bottle had 180 pills, the other 40 pills, Casey said, adding police had no suspects in the case.
