A Bangor man wanted since Monday on charges related to stolen checks was a little easier to locate on Wednesday. He was in court on a separate charge.
Brewer police had been looking for Matthew Crossman, 19, since Monday, when he reportedly tried to cash a $350 check. The check, when blank, had been stolen from a motor vehicle in Bangor a month earlier. The bank refused the check.
Crossman further ran afoul of the law when he was one of three people arrested early Wednesday morning in connection with a burglary hours earlier in Brewer. Brewer police officials worked through the night to complete the work on the case and Crossman appeared in 3rd District Court in Bangor that same day.
That’s where Brewer police Officer Jeremy Upham, who had been looking for Crossman, found the Bangor man. At court, Upham charged Crossman with receiving stolen property and forgery.
A Bangor woman said her mother’s boyfriend assaulted her and threatened to kill her Tuesday after she asked him to quiet down while she was watching television.
The woman told Bangor police that Arthur Dee, 42, was loudly playing with the cat and that he charged her after she suggested he quiet down. She told Bangor police Officer Chris Desmond that Dee tried to kick her in the face, but her arms blocked the blow and that he missed when he tried to kick her again. Dee also said he would kill her, according to the police report.
Dee fled the home, but police tracked his footprints in the snow from the Judson Boulevard residence he was staying at to a residence on N Street, Bangor police Officer Steve Jordan reported. A dispatcher called the home and asked that Dee come out, which he did.
Dee was charged with assault and threatening.
Bangor police arrested an Essex Street man early Thursday morning and charged him with drunken driving after finding his car stuck in a snowbank near his home.
Authorities were tipped off to the stuck motorist at about 1:20 a.m. Thursday. Bangor police Officer David Bushey reported finding the man trying to shovel his car out of the snowbank.
The man, identified as Joseph Wilson, 37, lost his balance and fell into the snowbank as the officer approached him, Bushey reported. Wilson didn’t fare much better on field sobriety tests and Bushey arrested him on a charge of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants. Wilson’s blood alcohol content registered 0.23 percent, or nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent, on the Intoxilyzer test.
