WATERVILLE, Maine — A Shawmut man is facing a felony charge after police say he threatened his girlfriend with a knife early Friday morning.
Even though James Chartrand, 45, never used the weapon, he grew agitated enough during an argument to draw it and is now facing up to five years in prison, Waterville Deputy Chief Charles Rumsey said.
Police were called to the Budget Host Inn around 2 a.m. by a third-party complaint about a domestic situation, Rumsey said.
When police responded, Chartrand and the victim had exited their room and were walking in a hallway, Rumsey said. Chartrand was arrested and charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, a Class C felony.
The victim was not injured in the incident, and a folding knife was found in Chartrand’s pants when police searched him.
Chartrand remains at the Kennebec County Jail. He is due in court on Sept. 11.



I don’t understand… he looks so sane and normal in this photo. Who would ever think that he might be ‘off’???
Who would ever think that a guy that looks like this would ever have a girlfriend???
Well played! :)
Woo hooo, now he’s single!! LMAO
Although I would normally have a nice long opinion… well enough said..
We should nurture and coddle him, let him go, he wont do it again, honest….LOL
He just needs a second chance……
Oh well, prison has nicer accomidation than Budget Host Inn.
Certainly looks respectable to me…….NOT!
Humorously defiant, I’d say. LOL
LOL
Since it’s been 20 hrs (per this site), I can’t respond to your reply in the conventional manner, so.
“I guess you lost me. I’m a little dense” Boy, aren’t we all!
I was making a comment that there were no usual remarks blaming the pill industry for the abuse yet.
Sorry for being off topic, folks, but there was his comment delivered too ‘late’ for me to respond, plus 40 ‘likes” removed overnight. Such is Disqus.
‘sokay
Disqus usually doesn’t like me.
All I can say is PRICELESS!!!
good ol’ waterville, it’s like the whiter equivalent of lewiston.
Getting that way, thanks to LePew’s legacy.
I think mugshots are intentionally taken just when the suspect is making the craziest face possible. There is just no way this guy could have avoided previous arrest if he walked around with this expression on his face all of the time.
To save time they took the mugshot during the “cavity” search…..
lol….Classic !
whats he gonna do with that knife? butter some bread?
maybe clean his fingernails or open a popsickle
He’s only 45? Good clean living, huh?
Some mother somewhere must be very proud.
the knife has a secret decoder ring with it
Ladies and gentleman say hello to “Bangorian “!
Yes, you hit the nail on the head, Bangorian escaped from his mothers basement, the internet went down and he had nothing else to do…
Bruce Lee would not be proud.
Crazy eyes going on there.
LOL! Part of his punishment should be that he is required to use this as his driver’s license photo.
This POS should be put away for life!
What a picture…
SUPRISE!
lol
