SANFORD, Maine — A man was taken to a local hospital for psychiatric evaluation Wednesday after he caused a disturbance at the Sanford Walmart, according to police.

Police were called to the scene around 2:45 p.m. after a man destroyed two televisions in the store’s electronic section, said Sanford Deputy Chief Tim Strout.

When police arrived, two customers had the man, whose identity police aren’t releasing because he wasn’t charged with any crimes, under control, according to Strout.

Sanford police transported the man to Southern Maine Medical Center in Biddeford for an evaluation, Strout said. No charges are expected to be filed in the case.

        Holy Crap! I wouldn’t watch that channel if it was the only one on TV! The Sci-Fi channel has more truth on it.
        Chris Matthews, Mr. Ed and Rachel Madcow are all so full of hate I cannot listen to them.
        I enjoy political discourse but I hate it when they just spew their vile comments and add nothing to the debate.
        Both sides are equally at fault. No wonder people are turned off or terrified with this election.

    1. I understand that he’s been distraught since Matt Lauer ousted Ann Currie from the Today show. Just showing support.

          1.  Matt, joking with the Olympic swimming team, said I know you guys push the highest point person into the pool, around here we just push people in the Hudson River…so Matt, laughing at his own joke, gets a come back from Al saying… no, we just throw people under the bus ! You should have seen the look on Matt s face.
