A Bangor man was arrested twice and shocked with a Taser within a 21/2-hour period early Sunday morning.

Police were called to the Ramada Inn on Odlin Road because the owner said that Herman Rodriguez, 36, refused to leave the establishment.

Bangor police officers responded to the scene after repeated attempts to get Rodriguez to leave the scene failed. According to the police report, after warning him to leave repeatedly, the officers attempted to handcuff Rodriguez, who continued to fight the officers.

Officer Jason Stuart told Rodriguez that he would be Tasered if he continued resisting. Rodriguez refused to comply and Officer Stuart shocked him twice with his Taser gun.

After this the officers were able to handcuff him and force him into the cruiser. He was charged with criminal trespass and refusing to submit to arrest and taken to Penobscot County Jail, where he was released on bail after about an hour.

At approximately 3 a.m. Bangor police Officer David Bushey noticed that several mailboxes had been knocked over outside of the U.S. Post Office on Western Avenue in Hampden.

Police at the scene determined that Rodriguez’s shoes matched shoeprints on the mailboxes.

Rodriguez was placed under arrest once again, charged with violation of conditional release and criminal mischief, and returned to Penobscot County Jail.
