A Dexter man was convicted Thursday of perjuring himself last fall while testifying on his own behalf during a probation-revocation hearing.

A Penobscot County Superior Court jury determined that David Clukey, 26, falsely testified that he had not made threatening statements to three people at a Guilford establishment last summer.

The statements were made in July at the Red Maple Inn, early into Clukey’s six-year probation following a three-year prison term for several charges related to his 1988 hijacking of a pulp truck in Dexter and the subsequent lowspeed chase by police along Route 7 as he held the truck driver at gunpoint.

Clukey was not immediately sentenced on the perjury charge.
