BANGOR, Maine — An Orrington man who had been ordered to stay away from Hollywood Casino for year was arrested on St. Patrick’s Day after returning to the gaming facility.
Though Daniel Adams Fox, 25, was cooperative and left the premises without incident, what happened when city police caught up with him across the street resulted in some confusion, Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said, citing a police report.
Fox initially claimed to be his twin brother, according to police. However, upon further questioning at a convenience store across the street, Fox reportedly admitted that he actually wasn’t his brother and provided his real name. Police charged him with criminal trespass.
During a search of Fox, officers found a knife hidden under his shirt, which led to a concealed weapon charge, Edwards said.
Fox racked up another charge — trafficking in dangerous knives — because the knife was a “spring-assisted” model, which is illegal in Maine.
According to the Bangor Daily News archives, Fox was fined $500 last November for a concealed weapon violation. In May of last year, Fox was pulled over by a Maine State Police trooper who clocked him going 101 mph on Interstate 95 in Bangor.
Geez, if they could only move faster on concealed weapons paperwork, this guy might have gone free…
Ah….NO. The knife is specifically banned by statue.
The Paul Bunyan statue?
LOL….that too. To early and no coffee, statute.
Why are possession of switchblades and pot pipes called “trafficking” ??
Um… ’cause he was in traffic when it happened? :) This offense seems a little minor for all the charges. I think what has happened here is bad karma. This guy has been a stone in law enforcement shoes for awhile. And probably not mentioned here, the guy was being a total (censored). So he probably just continued to rack up charges that probably wouldn’t have been thrown at any other person who was told to leave and did.

Heard he paid any underage girl a 100 dollars to get naked and dance in front of him after giving her some Oxycodone and sleeping pills in Ma I think. I’m trying to find the link right now in the Lowellsun Newspaper.
I have read that article as well, it was some thing along those lines. Seems like something that should have reported, When they were listing his past crimes.
“because the knife was a “spring-assisted” model, which is illegal in Maine. ”
Would someone please cite the statute on this and the exact definition. I can not seem to find it.

You are old. Wait, I get that joke so I guess I am too. Bob Newhart, the king of dry humor.
I have trouble opening my Swiss Army knife. Can I get a spring assist for it? You never know when a few seconds could spell the difference between cutting the cheese, or not.

Where is the picture of this outstanding Citizen? He must have neck tatoos or something. come on BDN post pics next time.
Dan Fox is a good guy with problems. He is no danger to others!
I’m sure. Just hanging with the wrong crowd. A victim of society. Probably mistook the casino for a church.
That is an unsubstantiated claim. Unless you work in the executive offices of Hollywood Casino, you have signed a confidentiality clause on company business. I would know this because I work there. So I say to you represent your company well. Then I say be thankful your true identity is anonymous here or you would be fired today!
If spring assisted knives are illegal to posses in Maine why can you buy them in Maine? I saw people selling then at the Sportsman’s Show and various places in the Bangor Area.
I wonder what he was kicked out of Hollywood slots for?
Claiming to be his twin Brother? That only works in Fresh prince of Bellair. He may have been on Bathsalts. Do they have a portable test for that yet?
