Bangor Police Sgt. Ed Potter saw more than he wanted to Tuesday night during a routine patrol in Bangor.

When Potter noticed a vehicle in the parking lot of the Kenduskeag Stream after allowed hours, he pulled in and walked up to the driver’s window.

“I saw a middle-aged man leaning back in the seat with his pants pulled down to his ankles and his genitals entirely exposed,” Potter wrote in his report.

When approached, Paul Heacock, 47, of Glenburn apparently didn’t notice the officer because he had the vehicle running and the radio on.

When asked what he was doing, Heacock pulled up his pants, but instead of answering Potter’s questions, he only rephrased them or claimed ignorance, according to Potter.

It was obvious to Potter and Officer Michael Jewett, who came to assist at the scene, that Heacock had been drinking. There also was a cup half-full of liquor on the floor of the vehicle, but Heacock told Jewett “that it belonged to a friend but he did not want to rat him out.”

Heacock wouldn’t tell officers why he’d been exposing himself, but said he’d been waiting for about 30 minutes for a female to pick him up.

Police determined that the registration stickers on the Chevy Heacock admitted he had driven to the parking lot were illegally attached, and the license plate was supposed to be on a different vehicle.

Heacock was arrested for indecent conduct and operating after suspension and taken to Penobscot County Jail. Once there, he became belligerent and uncooperative, Potter reported.

Heacock later was released after paying $1,000 personal recognizance bail. He is scheduled to appear Aug. 16 at 3rd District Court in Bangor. (Aimee Dolloff, BDN)

An Orono man was summoned Monday after he allegedly followed a woman to her home and made inappropriate sexual comments to her.

The woman was leaving a store on Main Street in Orono when she spotted Brandon Robbins, 18, leaning out the window of his vehicle, according to Orono police. She asked if he needed directions. Robbins reportedly replied that he didn’t and that he was “just checking out a good-looking female over there” as he pointed to someone else.

He added that perhaps he should be checking the woman out instead and followed her in his car to her home when she drove away, according to the police report.

The woman told Orono officers that despite her resistance, Robbins continued to approach her in the parking lot of her residence and make inappropriate comments to her.

He then touched her lower back and began to move his hand downward, she told police. The woman said she kept walking toward her house and made it inside where she called police.

Officer Wilfred King of the Orono Police Department went to the woman’s home and took her statement, and later located Robbins on Mill Street. Robbins told King that he didn’t follow her and that it was a coincidence that they ended up in the same location.

He denied making any sexual comments, but said he’d told her she was attractive, according to the police report. He also denied at first touching her, but then told King that he touched the woman’s lower back because he was trying to squeeze between her and a vehicle.

The officer issued Robbins a summons for disorderly conduct and assault, but then Robbins threatened to kill himself and police transported him to the hospital for evaluation.

He is scheduled to appear Aug. 16 at 3rd District Court in Bangor. (Aimee Dolloff, BDN)
