BREWER, Maine — An Eddington man spent the back end of the holiday weekend behind bars after an argument with his girlfriend led him to break her car’s rear window, police said.

Josh Gallagher, 33, is facing a criminal mischief domestic violence charge, a Class D misdemeanor, according to Brewer police Sgt. Arden Jones.

Jones said Gallagher and the woman, with whom he has a child, got into an argument early Monday morning and Gallagher punched out the rear window of the woman’s car.

Cpl. Nelson Feero and Cpl. Levi Sewall went to the scene and quickly arrested Gallagher, Jones said. Gallagher was taken to the Penobscot County Jail and later released, a jail official said.

BDN sports freelancer Ryan McLaughlin grew up in Brewer and is a lifelong fan of the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins.

  1. When in a blind anger, it’s always better to hit an inanimate object and not the object of your anger

      1. Agreed, but men seem to need a physical release for anger, and it’s still better plaster than flesh!

  2. He definatly has a good punch, know first hand its not very easy to punch out a rear window.

  3. No doubt that this must have been a frightening scene for the lady involved. However, with all of the domestic abuse cases being reported, at least it was the car window and not her.
