CORINNA, Maine — A 19-year-old Corinna man and his 15-year-old sidekick were arrested Sunday after they reported went to a home on Exeter Road looking for a fight.

Justin Allen Corson, 19, was charged with burglary, criminal threatening and criminal mischief, Deputy Ed Toulouse of the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department said Friday. He was arrested and taken to Penobscot County Jail.

The juvenile, whose name was withheld because of his age, was charged with criminal threatening and criminal mischief, he said, adding that he was released to his parents.

The episode that led to the arrests began with a text, Toulouse said. A Corinna man who had resided with a friend of Corson’s sent a text message to Corson accusing him of stealing $20.

Corson and his alleged accomplice turned up at the texter’s residence, where a verbal confrontation took place, the deputy said. He said that the texter and his girlfriend told Corson and the juvenile to leave.

Instead of departing, however, the duo went around the home to a door opposite the one they left from. Corson then kicked in the door, damaging the hinges. They then reportedly took off their shirts and demanded a fight.

After police were called, the pair left the texter’s residence, Toulouse said. He said he caught up with the two at Corson’s home, also on Exeter Road.

  1. The headline of the article is redundant. If you break into someone’s house, you are already asking for a fight.

  2. stupid punks! big deal it was only 2o bucks, not what I would call a need for a beating! GROW UP!!!!!

  3. Why did the kid take off his shirt. You are supposed to take off your pants. This kid has obviously never watched Trailer Park Boys. Randy always takes his pants off when it is time to fight.

  4. In the old days, if someone kicked in your door and came in to your house uninvited, you’d blow his head off!!! 

    What with all the robberies, drug crimes, etc., might be worth looking at the old days again.

    Society is too tolerate of this kind of garbage happening every day.  The punishment doled out by the justice system is too flexible and lenient.

      

    1. I find it incredible that any of us survived our teen years to grow up.  All that misguided energy.  Clearly these boys have a way to go.

      1. I agree; we’ve all pulled stunts that none of us want others to know about, but my point is that things are out of control in this country.  We have lost our morale value; wer’re more concerned with protecting the rights of the person doing the crime than the victim of the crime.  Things are backwards today.

        As an example; the 10 year old girl mutilated and murdered in Colorado.  Once they find this animal, the taxpapers most likely will spend millions of dollars to house him for how many years when he is convicted.  Even if they have the death penalty, the tax payers will pay millions while he spends years with appeals.  He should be removed from the face of the earth once convicted but probably will live longer than you and I combined.  All because of his ‘rights’.  What about the rights of that child!!! 

        1. I wouldn’t disagree with you on this one.  I’m not a specialist in social issues but it seems to me, over my lifetime, that the degradation in social morals was coincident with the need for both parents to work.  No, this isn’t an anti-women-in-the-workplace statement.  I completely and enthusiastically support equality in the workplace, as well as in everything else.  Rather, if one thinks back to my parents day, the home was often the farm and there was always an adult around to keep things on track.  When I grew up in the 50′-60’s my mom was home most of the time (she worked part time then) and again things were always monitored along with guidance in what was right and what was wrong.  Today the economy requires both parents work and even then it often isn’t enough to get by (both parents worked on the farm too however they were home to oversee raising the children).  Kids come home from school to an empty house, or both parents are home at different times of day and they are just too exhausted to, well, to parent.   The murderer you speak of, and the people in this story, are to some extent the result of our current economic malaise which has been in the making for decades now.  I know someone is going to say that if you cannot raise kids then you shouldn’t have them.  OK, there is some validity to that but if such wisdom (sic) were really enforced we would be a childless society.  Anyway, just my thoughts on this. 

  5. I actually lived there with the texters “girlfriend” she has done nothing but lie about alot i thought she was my best friend and then found out that she lied about having a child, and being pregnant and drank while claiming to be pregnant and alot of other things but I would first like to let you know that that is not at all how it went, they are brothers thats why they hang out number one, number two the texter and his girlfriend no they are not together and let me ask you this how can you break into your own house justin had been staying there with me for almost a month. Not only all this the sherrif came back the next day and gave the juvenile his criminal threatning charge for taking off his shirt and justin did not get charged with burgulary I was there at court when he got charged. oh yeah one other thing justin has too much respect for me to kick my door in knowing that I would probably have to pay for it, after the “texters girlfriend” attacked justin which i have pictures of, which the sherrif did not bother to do, the texter and his “girlfriend” broke the door after justin left and then called police. I know the Corson’s and they have been nothing but nice and generous to me and looked out for me, they are not bad people at all and I love them like they are my family, those boys are my brothers and they are there for me when I need them. Another thing is that the texter pushed justin so justin pushed him and the texter then said that if the juvenile wasn’t there he was going to fight justin so the juvenile left. Just thought I would tell you what really happened. None of this would of happened if the texter had just asked justin if he had taken his money not said “i think that little midget boy took my money and i want it back” word for word thats what it said I saw the text message. Take it from someone who knows what happened and was involved in that whole messed up situation. I am not at all happy with this article because it’s not the truth and thats what people deserve to know.

  6. First off I actually lived there with the texters “girlfriend” and they are not together. 2nd the sherrif came back the next day and gave the juvenile his criminal threatning charge. 3rd Justin has too much respect for me to kick in my door knowing that I would have to pay for it. 4th how do you break into your own house? no he wasn’t on the lease but he had been there ever night for the past month staying with me. 5th when the sherrif arrested justin he failed to take pictures of justins neck which was in rough condition thanks to the texters “girlfriend” because she attacked him after the texter had shoved justin and justin shoved back, I actually have the pictures of justins neck. 6th they are brothers thats why they hang out. 7th none of you know who they are, I do, they are my family those boys are my brothers. 8th the texters “girlfriend” she is a whole nother story, since I met her we had been close until I found she is a hibutual liar, that is all she does. 9th Justin didnt even break my door, the texter and his “girlfriend” broke it after the boys left and then called the cops. Just because of their last name people like to judge them but they are not bad people. Justin did not go down there to fight, he went to ask why he thought justin took his money and then the texter took it too a different level when he pushed justin. Its not fair to them that people think they can judge them and decide wheather they are good people or not. Oh yeah justin was not charged with burgulary either, I was at court when they charged him.

    1. Thanks for clarifying.  Like it when the people associated with or named or affected in these stories fill out the narrative.  Always more to the story.  So did the guy steal the $20 or not?  Nut’ing wrong w/throwin down over $ if you dint do it neither.

  7. All that over $20 and a whole bunch  of macho ego.  By the time the court fees and probation fees and vicitm witness fees are all said and done, that twenty bucks will seem like a really bad idea.  Wasn’t worth it, fellas

  8. Wow!  That fella was just askin for a fight….oh wait, it said that in the article….never mind….I hear banjos too!
