A ladder, copper pipe and copper fittings were reported stolen from a Bangor construction site on Friday afternoon.

Workers called police about 2:30 p.m. to report that the Asian Palace II, being built on Griffin Road, had been broken into sometime in the previous 24 hours.

When officers arrived, they found that the 2-by-4 that had been holding the doors closed had been pried off. Later in the day, a worker found a pry bar in a pile of dirt behind the site that might have been used to gain entry to the building, according to the police report.

Police did not expect workers would be able to put a value on the missing items until later in the week.

A Husson College student was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass after he allegedly grabbed a school security officer by the shirt and pushed him out of his way and went into his dorm.

Rashad Kendall, 19, of Manchester, Conn., was arrested by Bangor police after he allegedly refused to cooperate with them.

The incident allegedly began about 2:30 a.m. Saturday when the security officer tried to detain Kendall for an alcohol offense after a campus dance. The security officer did not want to press assault charges against Kendall but wanted him to leave campus for the rest of the weekend, according to the police report.

Kendall had refused to open the door to his dorm room for campus security but his roommate reportedly opened the door when a Bangor police officer knocked and identified himself. Kendall was in his bed, under the covers and talking on the phone when Bangor police entered the room, according to the report.

He refused to cooperate with police and continued to yell and swear at them, according to the report, while they were taking him from the dorm to the cruiser in handcuffs.

By Sunday evening, Kendall had been released from the Penobscot County Jail.

An employee of the Hannaford Bros. supermarket on Union Street in Bangor was arrested early Saturday and charged with burglary.

Seth McLaughlin, 22, of Biddeford was caught by Bangor police in the act of burglarizing the pharmacy, according to a police report.

Workers who had been stocking shelves alerted police to a possible burglary after the store’s security firm called to tell them someone had tripped an alarm in the pharmacy. A worker allegedly saw McLaughlin in the pharmacy and called police.
