What a redneck...the two guys in pickup are darn lucky they weren't killed!!!

Why didn't they call police right away? It said that they went to a nearby home. Wasn't they afraid this whack-job would come after them again? Lucky for them, that the guy was a bad shot.

Probably the guy was mad because the plowman woke him up. Actually the plowman should have waited until the day time and asked the ill woman if she wanted her driveway plowed. Good deeds aren't always rewarded , as he found out the hard way.

Very strange....But it's a town with a lot of strange folks....

onlineopinion----Your right, it is very strange. And you notice the passenger in the truck is from Milo! Another town with a lot of strange folks> I wonder how in the world someone could sleep with a plow truck banging and crashing around, the driver getting out to shovel because he was stuck, some half wit shooting off all the rounds in his rifle, and he dosen't wake up until two bullets enter the truck? I'd say that was one tired boy! Just goes to show you never know what will happen at 3:30 in the morning up in that part of the woods. Gotta say, guess they are lucky to be alive!

Not that I want to jump to any conclusions or anything, but this sounds like a drug deal gone bad to me. Two men just happen to be in the driveway of a known drug dealer in the middle of the night and just happen to be plowing the driveway and just happen to get the truck stuck when along comes Mr. Drug dealer and takes the time to unload a bunch of bullets on them. Then the two men, who say they were doing nothing wrong and were actually attempting a good deed, drive to the nearby home where they wait to call the police. Usually only guilty people try to keep police out of illegal activity. I can't wait to hear more about what really happened that morning.

Geesh makes me want to run out and help thy neighbor NOT

hmmmmmmmmm...I wonder if the plow guy decided to sober up b4 calling the police to report it,I know these little towns riding around at 3:30 am drinking a beer is pretty common,that might explain getting stuck,and why his passenger was out of it,id know a gun shot the second it went off wouldnt you?Of course im no Columbo,but Id say their lucky to be alive !

From the looks of this photo, I'd say anyone who lives anywhere Near this guy is lucky to be alive!! And I know that's mean, but he is one scary looking dude!

Richard37------I don't dispute a thing you posted, just got to say that most of the plowmen up that way really do a lot of their plowing overnite, as "some" of them have jobs to go to, or used to. And I live in Bangor and the guy that plows here usually plows overnite. But then, I'm not out shooting at him.

Granted, I don't know the whole story, but it sounds to me as if this guy was simply trying to do a good deed....Which, might I add, happens few and far between these days. My driveway gets plowed between 6pm and 10pm or at about 6am (depending on when the storm hits). 3:30am is WAAAYY too early, unless previously arranged. In this case it seems as though it was NOT pre-arranged so the plow guy should have had enough decency to wait a few hours, but then again the woman was ill, what if she had had to go to the hospital? I don't know...either way it doesn't justify Timmy Turner running out of the house pumping rounds into someone...what it does justify is a psych evaluation for Timmy Turner PRONTO!!!!

coke will do that to ya.

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on..........

I think there is more to this story that is not being told...."Give me a break'.....Why wait for 12 hours to report to the police that you've been shot at??????

Sounds Like The Plow Man needs a Gun

So much for good deeds. This guy looks like he may have been pepper sprayed.

Which may attribute to his "not looking so good".

sounds like Timmy was shoveling his own "snow" inside the house! As long as he wasn't smoking right!

Even if these guys were drinking...it doesn't give this guy the rights to shoot at them..I'm assuming they were drinking or they wouldn't have waited 12 hours to notify the police

i dont know about you guys,but if i being shot at,my butt is in my truck,and my truck is in reverse and iam history.

there goes linconmom again sticking her nose where it doesnt belong. she spends all day on the computer. probably keeps a filthy house too.

La Grange is about 75 miles from the town I moved to five years ago. A lot of drug activity up here, and I've heard that Howland area, being right off I-95, is a big drug dealing area. People drive up from Bangor to make their purchases, and then drive back home?

The town I live in is called, "DODGE CITY." A guy changed my oil in Bangor last week, and crowed how, just 15 years ago, when he was young, he had visited my town to get high with the locals, circa 1990s, and the locals were shooting the lights out on the railroad track, and had set up an old truck full of burning tires right on the railroad tracks (15 years ago).

My neighbor, who has rented for many years, another recent immigrant to the area, assaulted me with a five foot pipe, surrounded by her relatives, one of whom held a chain saw....LOL....LOL I've made peace with this crazy lady over and over again, and occasionally, it has occurred to me to plow her driveway as a measure of friendship, but I have learned to STAY AWAY FROM DRUGGIES.

Not much difference between rural Maine drug addicts and their cousins in the big cities. In the end, someone who is nuts on drugs, whether they be rich, poor, black, white or green, is still someone out of control and off their rocker.

TIM TIMMAHY TIMMY TIMMY REEEBALAH TIMMAH

Another crazy person that that can't live in society. He should remain incarcerated for a long time until he can be thoroughly evaluated. He is much more dangerous than the weed seller that got life in prison.

The news out of Maine get stranger and stranger with each passing month. Do people there have anything to do?

ding a ding a ding a ding ding ding

This guy looks a little like a bubba, maybe the plow guys thought this was natural behavior for him. And the plow guys behaving like a lot of Maine people do have a big heart, helping people and not wanting to cause trouble.

SOUNDS LIKE A STORY STRAIGHT OUT OD DELIVERANCE!!!!

Next storm, please come plow MY driveway. I won't complain, and I don't own a gun!

WTF! This is some crazy sh!t! "Both victims said they had to jump out of the way of flying bullets", what does this mean...were they in the Matrix or something? Isnt possession of firearms another offense for Timmay seeing as though he is on trial for other felonies? Just another big dumb animal sucking off the nips of society.

What a wacko. He needs no mental evaluation as far as I am concerned. Doesn't the article say it all? No good deed goes unpunished.

Timmy comes from a good family. Dont judge everyone in LaGrange by this event. Not everyone in LA are rednecks.......

The troopers last name is "Foxworthy"....certainly fits here because these guys sound like a bunch of Rednecks!! You know you're a redneck when??

Sounds like the driver was drunk, at least. Why else would he wait 12 hours to call the cops when a lunatic is running around with a gun shooting at people. As far as I can tell, Lagrange & Milo might just as well be bulldozed and converted back to forest.

There's more to that story!

well poor old Grandma will probably have to shovel her driveway from now on. Can not imagine anyone will wish to plow for her, and red neck grandson should not be trusted with a shovel.

Red50: touche, touche. Its tough not to paint all of La with one brush with negativity like this.

What a BS news story. Did the BDN get the whole story off the police scanner? How about some damned NEWS, as in INFORMATION, you idiots.

Oh lookee here, Bangorian has chimed in with the usual everyone from that neck of the woods is a whack job post. Thanks for playing you moron.

That poor plow man was trying to do something nice for someone that he knew was ill. The son that shot at the plow man should be charged with attempted muder two counts.

This world is getting bad if you can't even help your neighbor or friend without getting shot at.

The kingofmaine cracked me way up southparkin' it. That's creative. (humor where there was none)

i grew up with tim and his family.

tim certainly wasn't a "bad" kid when he was growning up

and yet another graduate of cocain high ,but dont let this lead us asstray of the cig smokers ,got to keep them under control way more important than gun toting crackheads

riflemans stash was probably in his moms place, therefore, he wanted no one near that place....

Lots of people plow in the middle of the night so they can get up and go to work in the morning. We always hear plows and snow-blowers at all hours of the night and morning during and after a storm. Nobody should be surprised about that in Maine.

If he'd come to plow my driveway for free, I'd have taken him a hot cup of cocoa and given him a big hug!

No good deed goes unpunished, I guess. I hope the judge throw the book at that bullet-happy whack-job. He shouldn't be on the streets.

The old adage: Nice guys finish last !

lol thanks choppahdave... I just liked how this story was horribly written. I think they used "TIMMY" was used like 50 times

There is a Old saying " No good deed goes unpunished" I guess in this case it is true

lol, shoot first. ask questions later.

Listen, this Plowman is my brother it is more serious then the story that was written, I'm a Christian and this is a miracle that no one was killed, its no laughing matter.

I KNOW WHY HE DID NOT CALL POLICE RIGHT AWAY.........CAN U SAY DRUNK...............LOL

He probably thought they were space invaders from another planet coming to steal his drug supply. Check out the picture, a face even a mother cannot love.

Richard37...I think you got it right..sobering up seems like the most logical explanation of why one wouldnt report a psycho shooting off more than one weapon 12 hours after the incident. Tsk Tsk Tsk...

He was obviously out of his mind on a different type of snow!

Timmy,Timmy don't play cowboy with a cowboy.....lucky the plow man was not packing ..things could have been worse for everyone involved.As always i am sure parts are left out for us to assume why it took 12 hours to contact law enforcement?

thequeenof paine is apparently incapable of contributing any sort of appreciative comment on any story from the BDN. Must be a fun life, taking harebrained potshots at any and everything she encounters. There's a village somewhere in Mass. searching for its idiot.

I drove through lagrange once, gave me the creeps...should change the name to lastrange...

makes me wonder how many times aliens abducted him from his trailer...

Face does look kind of strange,pepper spray is right to say.Also looks like some-one that does not give a dam either.I can understand why they waited to call 12 hours latter but I really do think they were doing a good Deed,for that women,and yes they were very lucky that he was such a bad shot.He needs to serve his long time in jail for what he did,you just don't go fireing a gun at some-one in the yard,you wait and see what they are doing and then if they do not bother your home you leave it alone and thank them for what they did.those plowmmen are very lucky.I bet now they think twice about who they will do a good deed to from now on.

KingofMaine LMAO

I watched Trailer Park Boys on break at work this morning... do these words ring true for this guy right here?

he looks like he's a little water-brained lol

I've honestly felt like shooting the people that plow the streets here in town. Or at least somehow disable their plow truck. EVERY storm this one guy in a jeep goes down the road (with a faux emergency light) looking for what needs to be plowed. I get my driveway almost done (like 3 or 4 shovels left) and here comes the town plow guy(s) and plow me up to my waist.

My father had a plan when he was alive to stick a metal rod like a pike in the snowbank and when they pushed the snow then the truck would obviously either become either lanced or stuck and a broken plow.

I don't want to shoot them its just metaphorical. I told one of them to get out of Monson once. LOL

thekingofmaine , Gee, what are the town plow guys supposed to do? Raise the plow just so you arn't troubled with 20 minutes of more shoveling? You live in MAINE! winter happenes every year about this time.MOVE if you don't like it. I did. having january temps in the 50's and 60's beats the hell out of shoveling. As for the guy in the jeep, so what if he's out trying to make a few bucks. maybe he's an unemployed furnuture maker, paper maker or layed off logger. Maines economic climate has treated thoes folks so well in recent years. Monson isn't the thriving metropolis it once was. WHY would your father really want to hurt and disable someone out trying to do a service for people? Maybe you were just being sarcastic and it was lost in type, but it comes across to a reader as just being plain mean and thats not how I like to remember folks from my former home in Pisquataquis county.

Shot at and missed, sh!t at and hit!

The Theme from Deliverance plays well in the background whilst reading this story.

Beelzebubba, Dueling bajo's is indeed a great tune for this. I live 60 miles from where that was filmed and yes, it's REALLY like that in north Georgia.

If a trooper has to stop you from shooting at a plowman you are probably a redneck.

^You might be a mainer *FIXD*

Plow faster..I hear banjos

Did they get enough snow for it to be plowed? Sensing a deeper plot here. People are funny...in a stupid kind of way.

"Call Mr. Plow, that's my name, that name again is Mr. Plow!"

I miss Maine.This is a riot! Thank God no one dted.I sure do miss this kind of story.I used to live in Penobscot where there were plow guys that would just race around happy as could be plowing any surface they could find sometimes,doing good deeds for neighbors or whatever.Where I live now near Tucson ,Az. there's at least four or five murders a week,usually drug and or gang related.You get used to it but it's not really the kind of thing to be used to.It's usually pretty warm here in the winter and all that but you people have what most of the rest of the country doesn't.Four seasons of relative peace and quiet in the great northeast.I really miss Maine.You all have a great day and try to stay warm.

What was they trying to do save the old plowtruck?My butt would have been runing down the dam road,not waiting for some dopehead to reload,they couldnt run because they were all in space,that is the space for fools,if your shooting lead at someone isnt that atempted murder,it sounds to me the judge is high as well,and besides rednecks dont do drugs

So he emptied his 22 out on their truck...must really suck for him when he's out hunting ["you get anything today honeypot?" "NOPE, something dun be wrong wit my gun...it caint shute strait"]...who can't hit ANY target with a 22? They were perfectly safe when he got his 30-30 though, I figure he would poke out his one good eye trying to look through the scope therefore rendering the intended targets enough time to dig out their truck and possibly sit and have a smoke/toke...whatever the case may be.

Wow. What has this world come to. He was just trying to help someone out. No wonder no one does community service.

markko LMFAO thats the spirit

homer got sex though after wearing the mr. plow jacket

"Redneck" I don't think so, Rednecks would of come out & thanked him for plowing! This guy is a WACKO!!

You can't say Red Neck. It's derogatory and hurts conservatives feelings LOL!!!!

Timothy.....paranoid much?

SteveyDee, I'm conservative (albiet a moderate one) and that doesn't offend me. Most rednecks are inbred/close to it and slack-jawed yokels who don't have a pot to piss in. Wait a minute thats the whole of Washington County... i stand corrected

Sorry to hear about Timmy just when he was trying to turn his life around. When he and i were in the 6th grade, he would give me a ride to school in his pickup truck. After school ,on our way home, he would shoot at things with his .22 with a varmint scope. I loved shooting out windows in houses wwith no cars in the driveway. He did have one habit that bothered me though, always talking about having intimate relations with farm animals. Other then that ,he was a real nice guy.

dontdodo, way to funny, still laughing, yeah if it was my butt, i'd be on a dead run down the road too. but my guess, they probably thought by doing a good deed they might get a little cut in on the coke. as far as the judge goes, i wonder if it was stithman, just wondering. good thing they got out when they did , the third gun might of been a machine gun. sounds like this guy meant business.

The article does not mention the other side of the story. There were no plow marks in Timmy's mother's driveway. The plowman was plowing snow up against Timmy's truck to plow him in. As far as the shooting, if Tim had wanted to hit the intruder he could easily have done so. The plow truck was stuck in Timmy's driveway and not his mother's. They didn't call the police right away so they could get there story together. And as far as Tim's appearence, lets see some of your pictures in the paper so we can spectulate on them. This whole incident results from the so called victims being out to get Timmy for a past feud. The whole story in the paper told only one side.

Being someone who has always lived around the area of LaGrange I understand why people have a negative impression of the whole Milo/Lagrange and surrounding areas but I swear not everyone is crazy. It is just as appalling to the residents of the area. Also being a person who knows who this man is he is a convicted felon already and doesn't even have the right to own a gun so as to avoid situations like this because everyone already knows is a drug dealer and unstable, the police should have taken care of this person long ago instead of releasing him over and over again to go on until he gets someone killed.

PiscataquisGirl...

I understand what your saying. I live in (MONSON) sic, and have been through lagrange quite a few times. This one place right by the old restaurant used to have trash, refrigerators, broken cars, swingsets and all kinds of junk in the yard. It was cleaned up better the last time I went through though. And the tarpaper houses and old rusted car frames in the woods...yep.

LaGrange sure isn't a bad place

back to my beer.

If Tim is so unstable and dangerous why would the poor victims who also know him well, be messing around his home in the middle of the night?

HA HA HA HA HA only in Maine...Only in Maine =D I'm glad the 'good samaritans' didn't get hurt though!

kjflambert--I wish I saw that first...But welcome to the Bangor Daily News!! Somewhere there Motto must be "There is only one side to every story" hahaha

He'll probably get more time for trafficking drugs... YAY!!!!!!!

Assistant District Attorney Greg Campbell increased the charges against Turner. - DO YOU THINK!!!!!!!! How about attempted murder?? These people need to read their handy dandy note books!!!!!!!

I was in monson once.....reminded me of lagrange....but I didn't get shot at....I kinda like lagrange....

3:30 is not too early!! Especially if you go to work at 4:30 or 5:00. I know the natural argument is gonna be that the driver knew she wasn't going anywhere. However, if he was already out plowing, and driving by at that time anyway, it makes sense to go ahead and clean it up instead of coming back at a later time. There shouldn't be a schedule on "good deeds". As far as waiting 12 hours to report it, I have never been shot at, but I'm sure it takes some time to get your bearings back, and by bearings I mean, speech, thoughts, etc.

This was not Tim's mother's plowman. She has a plowman that does her driveway and these men were not him. This was no good deed.

What if ,give plow boys guns,amo.give Tim back guns,does everone see where I am going with this?and and the last man standing,well thats where the so called state police come in,it would sure save the tax payer,money, that could be used to give Collins as big fat raise,well well what do you think?she looks like she could use some lipstick or something to cover that ugulay face.

Regardless of what time it is or what they were doing you still don't go around shooting at people! If these men were in his yard up to something funny then Tim is plenty capable of handling himself without resulting to guns. Especially if you are a convicted felon and not even allowed to to be in the same vicinity as a fire arm. This man has been in and out of trouble for years and is obviously never going to learn...Tim shooting up the neighborhood hmmm...doesn't this sound familiar?

What makes you an expert on Timmy's criminal record? At this point in time, Timmy is not a convicted felon. I also lived on Mill Street for many years and not once saw or heard Timmy shooting up the neighborhood!

HAH! lambert did you live on mill street before timmy could say gun?

Common sense (and the law in some jurisdictions) dictates that making a disturbance between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM is rude behavior. In this case, the rude behavior was answered with a complete lack of judgment. Gunplay was totally over the top.

The fact of the matter is that Timmy is loved by a large family and was the major caregiver for his mother when she needed him. He is a son, brother, nephew, cousin and uncle who is loved by many. Do not make him out to be a monster!

Must be something wrong with this guy. You just don't go shooting at people.

SteveyDee....wow, have not heard from you for several days, was a little worried....all kinds of thoughts...were you abducted by aliens? Did you evolve into another time and another place? were you partaking of the Holy Sacrament? maybe you were perusing Lagrange looking for plowing jobs? were you in the kitchen cooking up something? maybe you were just down to Vassalboro eating donuts??..that must be it....

Actually I was at my Cabin Ice fishing and drinking for the last 5 days. Nice and quiet. Only had the Artic Cat doing 100 twice then said I better behave myself.

I fully agree with kjflambert, Timmy has taken care of his mom and is not a monster. People are always looking for something bad to say about people. I believe people have the right to bear arms and defend their home..............maybe shooting was not a good idea but there is alot more to the story.
