Bangor woman, 47, charged in assault on tenant

A Bangor woman was charged with aggravated assault after attacking her tenant with a beer bottle Sunday morning.

Police were called to the 29 Vine St. home of Ann Fellows, 47, where the tenant was reportedly attacked, Bangor police Officer Brian Nichols said. Police found a 43-year-old man sitting in the home, bleeding from minor cuts on his left hand, forearm and the left side of his neck. Glass from a broken beer bottle littered the floor around him.

The man said Fellows attacked him with a 40-ounce beer bottle and caused his cuts, Nichols said, but Fellows said she scratched him. Less than an hour earlier, police had been summoned to the home when Fellows reported an assault, which turned out to be the fourth unfounded complaint she had made in two days. She was trying to get police to remove a man and a woman who share her home. She threatened to attack the man with a frying pan if police didn’t evict him.

When police returned to the home for the second time Sunday, Fellows told them she would lock the man out and meet him with a frying pan if he tried to return. She was taken to Penobscot County Jail and released on personal recognizance bail on Monday.

A Lubec man was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass after refusing police orders to go to his room early Sunday morning.

Anthony P. Avery, 36, was arrested by members of the Bangor Police Department around 1:30 a.m. after refusing to stop yelling and swearing and return to his hotel room at the Ramada Inn on the Odlin Road, Bangor police Officer Russell Twaddell III said. Avery had left the bar at the hotel and was standing on a couch in the hotel lobby shouting when police arrived and told him to go to his room. He replied, “I don’t want to go to my … room.”

Avery then strode aggressively toward a co-owner of the hotel, Twaddell said. The co-owner then asked for the man to be removed from the hotel. About 30 seconds after he was removed and given a criminal trespass warning, Avery returned. A brief struggle ensued. Police forced Avery to the ground, handcuffed and arrested him. Avery was taken to Penobscot County Jail. He will appear in 3rd District Court in Bangor on Nov. 18.
