BANGOR, Maine — A Dover-Foxcroft man is in jail after a motorist tipped police to a potential domestic violence assault, police said Monday.
Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said a woman driving on Harlow Street on Saturday afternoon witnessed a man in the vehicle in front of her hit a woman sitting in the passenger seat.
Dana LeBlanc, 41, of Dover-Foxcroft was arrested and charged with assault after Officer Tim Shaw responded to the call and interviewed the people in both cars.
Edwards said the female in LeBlanc’s vehicle had a small cut on her face.
The charge was elevated to a Class C felony because LeBlanc has a prior conviction for domestic assault. He was taken to the Penobscot County Jail and later released on bail. He faces up to five years behind bars if convicted.
What was his bail? $2.00 or $4.00?? Just curious
no money for bail… probably just released him to the person he assaulted.
Let’s hope this time around he goes to prison for the full 5 years. Perhaps that will motivate him to think before swinging.
Good job to the driver reporting it!
I am wondering if she called 911 or had the police dept’s number. There have been times I didn’t feel right calling the emergency line, but wanted to report a crime..
He will lie his way out of it like he has in the past. Lock him up for the full 5 years.
Domestic assault in the Dover area????
Nope, read it again. Bangor was where the assault occurred if it had been done in the Dover-Foxcroft area we would never had known about it. You see the BDN doesn’t cover anything North of Bangor any more.
not since diana bowley retired..now we get nothing up here
