A Bangor man suffered a broken jaw Friday night during a fight in the parking lot at the Irving Mainway on Main Street in Bangor.
Colby Gray of Bangor was treated for a broken jaw at Eastern Maine Medical Center late Friday night, and is scheduled to have it wired shut today.
According to a Bangor police report, Gray got into an altercation with Anthony Cote of Orono when the vehicles each were traveling in stopped at the gas station. Beforehand, heated words were being exchanged between Gray, Cote and two others while they were driving down Main Street.
At the gas station, Cote asked Gray to repeat what he was shouting at him when in the car. Gray raised his hands, according to the police report, after remaining silent for some time. Gray then made a statement, and Cote allegedly punched him in the face.
Bangor police Officer Brian Nichols caught up with Gray at the Main Street Inn. Gray repeated himself many times, telling Nichols he felt like he just woke up from a dream and that he could not remember what happened, according to the report.
Cote went to the Bangor Police Department on Saturday, gave a statement of what he thinks happened and was summoned for aggravated assault. He said he and Gray have had a poor relationship ever since they attended Bangor High School.
In the report, Nichols wrote that he believes Gray and another man each had a part in leading up to the fight, but that “no reasonable person” would have responded with a punch as Cote did.
A 37-year-old Bangor woman walked into a moving car on Union Street late Friday night.
Elizabeth Ann Lewey of Bangor, who allegedly was intoxicated, stumbled into the right side of a car as it was being driven near 148 Union St. by Stephanie R. Dubay of Bangor, according to a Bangor police report.
The right door of the car was dented and the right rearview mirror was torn off.
Bangor police had to tie a man’s hands and feet together after he kicked an officer and then tried to punch out the rear windows of a police cruiser with his feet late Friday night.
Police had stopped to question Gary Chessa, 22, of Bangor after receiving a report that a compact disc player had been stolen from a car in downtown Bangor. Chessa had a pair of needle-nose pliers, according to a police report, and had his hands in his pockets. At one point, he took his hands out but then put them back in. Suspecting he had a weapon, Officer Brad Johnston said Chessa was patted down and the compact disc player was on his person.
According to the report, Chessa yelled epithets at Johnston and other officers who were trying to put him into the police car. Chessa allegedly tried to kick the officers who then handcuffed him. Once inside the car, he allegedly tried to kick out the rear windows. At that point, the officers tied his hands to his feet.
Chessa was arrested for burglarizing a motor vehicle. The compact disc player, with a CD by Pillar, was returned to its owner.
