ORONO, Maine — A Massachusetts man is facing assault charges after a man was beaten with a baseball bat Saturday night, and police are still searching for three alleged accomplices.
Orono police Capt. Josh Ewing said Monday that Officer Jason Zalva was flagged down just after 11 p.m. by a witness who said a man was attacked out in a parking lot across the street from Pat’s Pizza.
When police arrived, they found a male subject lying on the ground with his face bruised and bleeding, according to Ewing.
The witness told police that four men were kicking and punching the victim, while one of them, later identified as Christopher Duffey, 22, of Scituate, Mass., had struck the victim with a baseball bat.
Ewing said the witness had pulled Duffey and the other attackers off the victim, and when Zalva determined that Duffey had attacked the man with the bat, he was arrested and charged with elevated aggravated assault, which constitutes a Class A crime because of the victim’s injuries.
The other three suspects remain at large, Ewing said.
“We are continuing to try to determine where the other three suspects are,” he said.
Ewing said later Monday afternoon that no other suspects had been captured.
The victim was taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor for treatment of serious facial injuries, including a broken cheekbone, Ewing said, and later released.
Duffey was taken to the Penobscot County Jail, where he remained Monday. He faces up to 40 years behind bars if convicted of the Class A offense.
Police describe the other three suspects as white males with athletic builds who were wearing green Boston Celtics jerseys at the time of the incident, Ewing said. Anyone with information regarding the assault should call Orono police at 866-4000 and ask for Zalva or Detective Derek Dinsmore.
What is it with all the out of staters bringing their violent shenanigans with them?
It’s called UMO, excuse me UM.
By
and large they come from shi!^ole neighborhoods and communities… and bring
their so called tough guy attitudes with them to show us hicks how it’s done.
The Bros have their routine, the Boston Southey’s theirs. I don’t play their
silly little games. I would suggest other people not play as well. Don’t kiss
their as#es… You don’t have to listen to Rap music. Get back in their faces
when they act up! My experience has been most of these guys are Dork’s in their
Hometowns – they come up here and try and play the gang banger/ tough guy role.
Four on one? What a bunch of cowards! Throw this punk in the slammer for 5 years. He’ll be crying like the Bit#^ he his when he can’t go home and have mommy do his laundry and make him dinner.
5? Dude’s looking at _40_ years haha
Potential 40 years for 4 guys beating a guy with a baseball bat but when 3 guys KILL a guy in front of some dumpy bar in Bangor they walk away with not even a summons. Wow.
The family of Ralph Greenleaf should open a wrongful death law suit. When OJ was found innocent the civil suit found him responsible and he paid millions. Go get a good lawyer.
Greenleaf didn’t have powerful parents like the three (well, two of them) who killed him did.
That’s what I hear. I know all about power. If they are that powerful they should have enough means to fight a wrongful death civil suit. With the number of lawyers in Bangor Maine I guarantee there would be a lawyer willing to take this case on a contingency basis. Plus, the estate of Ralph Greenleaf could be looking at high 6 figure settlement or maybe even a 7 figure outcome. Plus, this would help expose the whole thing even though that should have been done a long time ago. I didn’t know Mr. Greenleaf but if he was my relative or significant other I wouldn’t rest until the ones responsible suffered for their actions.
Gang-stomping someone…all wearing the same Celtics jersey….hmmmmm
St. Patrick’s Day.
Ahhhh that makes sense then. Damned Irish!
“three suspects as while males with athletic builds”. What is a “while male”?
Reporter, an extra 5 minutes to proof these stories wont kill ya. Half the people on this board have better grammer skills. C’mon man.
if the suspects were “OTW” do you think it would have been reported the same?
Another reason for a concealed weapons permit. If someone had a baseball bat I’d feel my life was in danger,good reason to pull the trigger!
No Question! I am sure you know this but others may not that you do not need a conceal firearm permit to carry, just to hide it.
GeekSLayer…Sorry, too old to keep up with the abbreviations, “OTW”?
I think maybe it stands for “other then white” ?!
oops
He has a ‘linkedin’ Profile if anyone wants to form a personal or business relationship.
Class A elevated aggravated assault looks good on a resume.
:)
Also if you scan his Social Networking (FB, Twitter, etc.) profile(s) you might be able to get some leads.
Just look for Three Stooges in Boston, Celtics gear….
…. Just remember guys, because its inevitable they will read this article and comments.
You can run but you can’t hide.
Big Brother is watching you – ha.
The Max of 40 seems to be a fair number. I would suggest 40 plus 5 more for every swing of the bat. If your swinging you may as well swing for the fences… or steel bars.
….But marijuana is illegal……..
