A bartender at Judy’s Restaurant on State Street in Bangor claimed a man attempted to pay for a beer with a counterfeit $20 bill over the weekend.

When the bartender said she determined the bill was fake, she asked the man to wait while she called police. But he bolted out of the restaurant-bar at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, according to a police report.

The exchange is the fourth attempt reported in less than a week to pay for items with funny money at Bangor businesses. The bartender described the man as a bald white male between 30 and 40 years old, about 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 and weighing about 170 pounds.

Richard Fournier, 25, of Etna was summoned for criminal mischief Saturday evening after police said he broke windows, doors and glassware at a bar at the Ranger Inn in Bangor with a baseball bat.

A candy machine also was knocked over. Damage was estimated at $6,000.

According to a police report, Bangor patrolmen Brian Nichols and James Hassard responded to a call for help between 11 p.m. and midnight and discovered the damage to the bar. The bartender said she didn’t know what had happened and appeared unconcerned, according to the report.

The patrolmen then interviewed another motel employee, who said Fournier is “the enforcer” for the Iron Horsemen motorcycle gang.

The bartender is Fournier’s girlfriend, according to the employee quoted in the police report. The man said he had asked Fournier to quiet down shortly after 10 p.m. because he was revving his motorcycle in a parking lot at the motel and disturbing guests. The request only made Fournier “use the parking lot as his own drag strip,” the employee told police.

At 10:52 p.m., the employee said, he heard the sound of breaking glass. He called the police shortly afterward.
