A Bangor man who wanted an associate removed from his apartment was taken into custody as well after police determined he was wanted on a warrant.

David Paul, 52, called police Wednesday night to have Richard Jenkins, 35, of Veazie removed from his Forest Avenue apartment. Paul initially claimed that Jenkins had a knife, but he later recanted that claim, according to Bangor police Officer Tyler Leighton.

Jenkins was still in the house when police arrived and wouldn’t let the officers in, so they forced their way in, Leighton reported.

Despite warnings, Jenkins continued to be belligerent and even told an officer to step outside to fight him, according to the police report. Jenkins was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

Paul was wanted on a warrant for failing to appear in court on an unspecified charge.

A woman went into Marshall’s on Union Street late Wednesday night, and when she came out she found an intoxicated man passed out in her SUV’s passenger seat, Bangor police said. The window had been broken, according to Officer Jason Stuart, who found a large rock outside the vehicle along with a bottle of alcohol the man had been drinking earlier.

Rescue personnel checked out Michael Williams, 41, a transient, as he had been sitting in broken window glass, and once cleared was arrested on a charge of criminal mischief.

A phone and small safe were taken from the Unitarian Universalist Church on Park Street in Bangor recently.

A second, larger safe had its locking mechanism damaged, a church official told Bangor police Officer Michael Brennan on Thursday.

The woman said she came into the church office that morning and found some things missing, including the phone, valued at $100, and the safe, which contained copies of computer files.

One day earlier, at about 8 a.m., the office door was discovered unlocked, and later that day, an outside door was found ajar, suggesting someone had been inside.
