BANGOR, Maine — A Bangor transient known to police found himself in county lockup again Wednesday afternoon.
Officers Taylor Bagley and Josh Kuhn were on routine patrol on Essex Street around 4 p.m. when they saw Donald McMahon, 24, walking by, Sgt. Paul Edwards said.
McMahon had outstanding warrants for his arrest, Edwards said, and a search of the suspect allegedly produced a knife located under McMahon’s shirt.
Edwards did not indicate what McMahon’s warrants were for.
It’s not the first time McMahon has been caught with a knife, according to Bangor Daily News archives. In August 2011, police found two knives in his pants when he returned home after an alleged domestic violence incident.
McMahon was booked into the Penobscot County Jail and charged with trafficking in dangerous knives, the sergeant said. He remained at the jail on Thursday morning.
A lot of transients in Bangor. Where is Transia, and why do all their citizens come here?
There are a whole buttload of people out there with nowhere to go and all they know is sadness and violence, and for some reason all we have is a “justice” system to deal with them. We are moving backwards
why do we have section 8 loser illeagals get everything. and these people have no were to go.
How can he be a transient, he has taken up residence in the Bangor Jail system several years… He must have many friends in there and just wants to visit them!
It’s a shame people get so lost in life and things like this happen.
See there 3 stories about 3 different men with long criminal histories in the past two hours. Why do we as citizens not demand long jail sentences for these people?
