BANGOR, Maine — A Bangor man who survived being shot in a fatal Hermon home invasion in February was back behind bars last week after city police officers were called to Main Street to look into reports of a fight.
Though they didn’t find a fight, they did find 20-year-old Philip McIntyre and arrested him on two active warrants for unpaid fines, Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said Wednesday. McIntyre is now out on bail, a Penobscot County Jail official said Wednesday night.
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 of them for for unpaid fines.
In April, he was arrested again after Bangor police were called to quell a loud party on First Street. At that time, he was charged with disorderly conduct, refusing to submit to arrest or detention and failure to provide police officers his real name.
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.
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.
Williams was indicted by a Penobscot County grand jury in June on charges of drug trafficking and possession of synthetic bath salts.
19 years old. Look how his mugshot has changed in just the past few months. What a waste.
Note to householders of the next home this guy invades: Try harder.
He should try swimming with a toaster or hair dryer
It looks to me this brutha is just having to have a good time, but keeps getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time…
But seriously, there is obviously a problem here.. A young man made some mistakes and propelled him into a very difficult situation. He is a product of the society we all live, though many of you would just as soon consider him to be some inhuman being.
One can assume his poor behavior towards law enforcement is rooted in numerous experiences in the past. The warrants are created due to unpaid fines. Can one expect someone who I’m suspecting has no real support pick himself out of such a bad situation. Think about the toughest point of your life and having no one able to help you. It’s obvious our system is sending him in a heavy cycle anyone would have trouble escaping.
Like seriously, “I was involved in that fatel home invasion in Hermon last month and am featured in the BDN, can I have a job?” Where is he supposed to turn?
Participating in a home invasion goes a bit beyond “trying to have a good time, but… getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Not to be too Darwinian about it, but at the toughest point of my life, I hadn’t done that.
Good times? I suppose that depends on your definition.
By my count, he has been bailed at least 4 times. Someone is putting up the bail money and bail commisioners fees. He continues to blow off paying his fines. He obviously has self control problems. At some point in time he will have to man up and take responsibility for his own actions.
So because he has been in the paper involved in a fatal home invasion is an excuse to continue down the path to self destruction?
Since he has a habit of blowing off fines, he will most likely soon start blowing off bail and the source for bail will run out. Unless, his friends are burglarizing houses to make his continued bail.
Getting shot would be enough for most people to go straight. It would me.
He is a product of how he was raised, people like you apoligizing for his actions and saying”he’s just having a good time” are most of the problem. Let him break into my house and he won’t have to worry about bail. He’s nothing but a useless burden on society and should be treated as such, pampering criminals just leads to more criminal behavior.
i have an idea. take him into your home for a while and show him a better way of living. i am sure he will then see the light and become a whole new person. sarcasm off. if what has happened to him so far has not caused him to change, what will?
Better, yet. Let the judges who keep letting him out invite him into their homes. Perhaps, they will not be so quick to keep putting him on the street if it was their street on which he resided.
even better. what a fantastic idea.
Or their home he robs….how ironic. How many of you think it might be your house he burglarizes next? I do.
Seriously, yes we can expect him to pull himself out of such a bad place. He let himself in (no pun intended) he can let himself out. Seriously if one gets shots and survives while commiting a crime, that is THE wake up call. It appears to me he’s trying to be the biggest last winner…..seriously.
“The warrants are created due to unpaid fines. Can one expect someone who I’m suspecting has no real support pick himself out of such a bad situation.”
Yes, one can expect him to stop accumulating those fines in the first place (I’m sure they’re not speeding fines, either)! He’s not a Duke of Hazard “just a good ole boy, never meaning no harm” for gawd’s sake.
To good liberals, every criminal is just a good ol boy, never meaning no harm. They can’t grasp that evil exists in the world and that there is a cause and an effect for wrong behavior.
There is no “evil” and no “good.” Just humans behaving as they are programed to behave. You don’t suppose we have those little canine teeth to mash gruel?
Wow, generalize much?
Yes, a sociopath does not have guilt or remorse. They do not care stealing from me or you.
Many criminals pay their unpaid fines using EBT cards (SNAP) that taxpayers provide them (plus everyone else on public assistance) for food benefits. That “handy” cash back feature – so you and I already gave him “bail” money.
None of us are a product of society. We are a product of the choices we make, their consequences, and what we do from there with our life.
Yup! A guy here in Boston was overheard by a cop at the police station telling his girlfriend to bring his EBT card to bail him out. They put the kibosh on that right then and there! Started an overhaul of the system on Beacon Hill, too.
So true. We make choices good or bad. I grew up poor, got an education and provided myself with a fine living. What is up with getting cash from your EBT card? That encourages abuse while the kids are still hungry. No wonder communities and schools are feeding kids during the summer now.
Uh, you can’t get cash back for food stamps alone. You can if you get actual money, which can come on the same card. But the SNAP program itself doesn’t allow you to get cash back. Trust me. I know. I’m on it…. and people ARE a product of their environments just as much as they are a product of their own actions. Go tell some kids in the middle east or africa they are not a produce of their environment and that its because of their choices they are starving and unhealthy. I think they’d disagree.
We are all “products of the society we live”……and some of us choose to obey the laws of the land and others choose a different course due to personal choices…..all choices regarding life have consequences and this young man’s choices have obviously contributed to his current course in society and apparently he continues to make such choices….mistakes in the past, yes probably…..continuing to make such choices time and time again….Deserving of what ever comes his way…..Crazy……
He is a product of his own bad choices.
agreed! we all have choices to make, he made some bad ones…
The system worked just fine for MOST of us. Why are you looking for some excuse to blame society for this man’s problems? Seems to me like he thinks rules and regulations are for everyone else but himself. It is time he did what the rest of us do to succeed. You are one heck of an enabler!
The taxpayers spent $130,000 on “educating” this waste of oxygen and he never took advantage of it. I bet he started down the wrong path in school and the liberal bleeding hearts prevented any discipline from being imposed so that his fragile self esteem wasn’t bruised, when what he needed was for someone to hold him responsible for his own actions. He is a product of just the type of enabling that you’re proposing now.
We’re supposed to feel sorry for him? He was given every chance possible to make something of himself and he chose not to.
Blows my mind that he is not behind bars in connection with his buddy’s death.
That is exactly what I was thinking. Why the HECK is he still on the streets? What will it take – him killing someone – to be put in jail until his trial??? I do not get it.
what a menace
gotta love our revolving door justice system
Career criminal, abusing the justice system.
Home invasions are increasing rapidly. These thugs know that there is less of a chance getting caught burglarizing a home then robbing businesses.
So stay safe, be vigilant, install deadbolts and keep alarm activated. If you don’t have an alarm system try http://www.homesecurityalarms.net for the most affordable monitored alarm system in the nation.
well a ruger redhawk is a very affordable system as well, you just need to be sure its set at the right level…
Ya we have a home security alarm…it makes a BIG bang when someone breaks in.
Guess he won’t turn a new leaf …. … Ever.
I wish Mr. Williams had been a better shot…
He’s a good shot, he just didn’t want to kill anyone. It was a complete accident that he killed Bobby to begin with.
these losers get thrown in jail and are out on bail in a heartbeat , who’s bailing them out ? Ya know living rural has its benefits–an occasional coon or bear in the yard once in awhile that you just shoo off outta your garbage–in the city limits i think I’d be shooing these creeps off with a loaded 44 mag.
It is more important to enforce and collect a stiff fine from the general public not wearing a seat belt or going 38 mph in a 30 mph zone than it is to punish habitual or violent criminals! What a judicial system we have in place!
Fifteen minutes under a sweltering sun at Paris Island, with an introduction on how to enjoy life by a sweat-free DI., would have a profound effect on this young man.
Our bail system operates like a Yo-Yo for many people like this one. He, and thousands more can moan and groan about tough times at Ridgemont High, daddy’s cruelty, and Mommy’s gin habit. What they need is an awakening. But first, Society has to wake up, too.
I disagree that boot camp is a machine to reform criminals. It has its merits and can bring the occasional offender back onto the path of hard work, ethical behavior, and integrity but, there is an increasing trend toward career criminals such as gang bangers joining the armed forces to receive weapons training. youths who have closed records at 16/17 often get loophole over looked and end up getting training to be a more efficient menace to society.
Anyone check out this gentlemans Facebook page? It will explain everything.
It does, indeed. I like his tattoo on his arm that says “ride or die”. Makes me giggle! He didnt die, so that means he rode. But after he ran off.
Phil, just in case you were confused, there is no prize for a high score here. Unless you count shackles and an orange suit as a prize … Although you’ve seemed pretty skilled about avoiding that!
Investigate a fight? Sounds like his “friends” are selling him up the river. This young man needs to get his stuff straight now and move away. He has no chance here anymore. Too much bad publicitiy and notoriety to live up to or move away from.
They mght as well keep him right in there. Why bother to let him out when you know he isnt getting a job anytime soon to pay those fines, or restitution. I dont get this justice system. These young people mess up, get put in jail, they let em out shorty thereafter and give them huge fines that they know there is no way they can pay, and then they arrest them all over again for not paying their fines. Doesnt make any sense at all.
Why does he get to keep paying to get out of jail when this money he keeps pulling out of the air for bail could go towards his fines? Looks like he needs to be behind bars to stay out of trouble.
