BANGOR, Maine — A local man showed up with a knife early Saturday at the home of a 36-year-old female who took out a protection from abuse order against him and was arrested, Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said on Monday.
“She was receiving phone calls and texts” from John Evans, 50, but when Officer Brian Smith arrived on Sunday, he was nowhere to be found, the sergeant said.
Smith parked down the street and shortly afterward, “someone ran up to the police car and said that John was back at the house yelling at the victim,” Edwards said.
Evans was located at the victim’s residence and hand a knife concealed in his pants, the sergeant said.
“He had a knife on a string dangling in his pants,” the sergeant said.
Evans was arrested and charged with violating a protection order and carrying a concealed weapon. He was taken to Penobscot County Jail and was later released, a jail official said. (Nok-Noi Ricker, BDN)

sounds like it could be dangerous to have a dangling knife in the pants!
so, he was threatening her AND went to her house WITH A KNIFE and they just let him back out?!?! Why?? to finish the job?!
Did we learn nothing from Amy lake in dexter?
This guy is a danger to her, and now we know, to himself, too!
We’ll be hearing from him again…
“He had a knife on a string dangling in his pants,” the sergeant said.
What was the other end of the string tied to?
So they found him with a dangling knife
We cannot pay our police officers enough..
I’d get banned again if I wrote what I was thinking on this one.
Well, here is another “local” Bangorite. “Local”? Really?
I still support that one must have physical evidence, or another witness willing to testify in Order to get a protection of abuse order, since it is so detrimental. Even if an abuse order was misused and dismissed that slander and defamation of character lives on……
This person had the second witness of a neighbor saying this man went back to yell at the lady. A form of verbal abuse. She also holds fact of his violation of the order in his attempts to contact her directly or indirectly through the phone, I imagine caller ID if she did not pick up the phone and text, and the neighbor was a witness by telling a police officer he was yelling at the victim.
To add to the story, this person also had a concealed weapon.
How big does a weapon have to be to be considered a weapon and concealed? Does a mini Swiss army knife count as a weapon and if it is a keychain is that considered concealed when in one’s pocket, or is it based on one’s intent? Anything can really be used as a weapon, depending on intent. If it is based on one’s intent then as long as it is concealed there is no intent to use it as a weapon, so how can it be considered a concealed weapon?
Confused.
I like the simple right to bear arms, please. Can we leave it at that?
