BANGOR, Maine — A Bangor man who survived being shot during a deadly home invasion in Hermon wound up behind bars Monday night for the third time this year.

The arrest took place about 7:30 p.m. Monday after Bangor police were called to quell a loud party at 17 First St., Bangor police Lt. Tom Reagan said Tuesday night.

Philip McIntyre, 19, was charged with disorderly conduct, refusing to submit to arrest or detention and failure to provide police officers his real name, Reagan said. Also arrested was Joseph Landry, 18, of Levant, who was charged with disorderly conduct, Reagan said.

McIntyre was arrested on a burglary charge earlier this year, shortly after being released from St. Joseph Hospital in Bangor, where he was treated for a gunshot wound to the leg he suffered during a Feb. 16 home invasion in Hermon.

McIntyre was arrested again the next night for three outstanding warrants — all for unpaid fines.

Before this spring’s home invasion, McIntyre had been arrested at least four times over an 18-month period for failure to pay fines, according to court documents filed at the Penobscot Judicial Center.

According to published reports, McIntyre was with Robert Dellairo, 30, also of Bangor, and an unidentified woman on Feb. 16 when they forced their way into a residence at the Duran Apartments on Outer Hammond Street in Hermon, according to police. A second unidentified woman also was involved in the home invasion, according to police.

Both men were shot by Daniel Williams, 24, one of two men in the apartment, and Dellairo died later that day at Eastern Maine Medical Center from a gunshot wound to the pelvis. Williams told the Bangor Daily News that he shot the two in self-defense.

Maine State Police Lt. Christopher Coleman of the Major Crimes Unit is leading the investigation into the Hermon shooting and is working with the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office on the case, which remains under investigation.

    1. Because as fast as he is arrested, he’s let out on bail. Apparently, bail isn’t set very high for repeat offenders of home invasions. Figure that one out.

  1. So third arrest this year, one of which resulted because of a forced home invasion and he is just out partying around Bangor because…?

  2. I can’t be the only one wondering how this can even be possible.  Do we even consider criminal history when setting bail requirements?

    1. This is EXACTLY why someone needs to run against Mr. Almy and he needs to be shown the door.  Crime after Crime in this area happens and time after time these punks are allowed to walk the streets and do it all over again.  All we ever hear in response from the court system is that the jails are full..cmon folks….whatever happened to protect and serve and making the streets safe to walk down?  If I hear Edwards tell us all one more time how crime is declining, i believe i am going to hurl..  Worst part of this is if you pay any attention to the BDN Police Beat and Court sections its the SAME people they keep arresting..over and over again…LOCK em up already….Geesh!!!!!!

  3. You can’t tell me this jerk is not on probation? Come on folks, pull his probation already and send his butt to prison, I mean just look at the punk, he will fit right in with the rest of the low life!!!

  4. Too bad the home owner didnt finish this low life when he did his home invasion.
    Its sad how young he is.

  5. If the jails are so full send someone home that is in there for more than a day, a nonviolent crime, or stop putting people in for stupid crap and incarcerate the real criminals they keep letting out.  It’s a no brainer really.  

  6. Once again, it is the justice system that is at fault for not imposing stricter guidelines and incarceration terms along with coupled heavy fines for repeat offenses/offenders.  The Maine State Legislature is at fault for not doing their business in installing these promulgations for stricter controls and guidelines over and above what is booked.  With news reports of people such as this McIntyre character walking the streets and getting into trouble time after time, we also see news reports of criminals entering the State of Maine and in the Bangor area, these people come for the freebies and foodie handouts on the state welfare, along with housing and the rest of the free perks.  Bank robberies, and other crimes with weapons included every time and drugs, bath salts or alcohol or all of the above are included in their repertoire. 

  7. Lets lecture him, spank him or scold him but don’t punish him, God forbid,  just set him free again so he can continue to break the law and maybe injure or kill someone!

  8. Coddle and nurture the criminal, that is what we do, Super Petey will come save him, have an excuse for him…

  9. I propose we implement chain gangs.  We have to pay to run the prisons and jails.  They should be put to work to earn their keep.   Why pay over a Billion for an E/W highway, when these guys can do it with shovels and wheelbarrows?

  10. Only a burglary charge for the home invasion in hermon? He busted thru someones front door while they watching Price is Right!!! Come on!!

  11. Not surprised: It wasn’t clear when he got shot at the first time he was a scum bag? People don’t break into your house with a gun for something to do. He had something the other junkies wanted for free!

  12. The system is waiting for the next home invasion victim to have better aim. figure its cheaper that way than to house him over a long period of time.

  13. Call the exterminator…we have a roach.

    Love how he gave a fake name…um Phil, I think they know you pretty well by now…

  14. I do like the chain gang theory. Lets have these low lifes out working on the side of the road so we can all drive by and see our tax money at work. They could pick up trash, cut the brush along the sides of the roads, and might even learn some work ethics while doing this cumminty service. Beats having them is prison wacthing cable tv on my dime.

  15. It seems this young man needs a lot of help! He is a threat to the community…so sad…keep him locked up for now :(

  16. Because whoever shot him on his last burglary need more practice.
    This guy is a drain on Maine!
    Wonder how many more times it will take before he turns violent and kills an innocent person?
    Then it’s three hots and a cot for life!
