PALMYRA, Maine — A Corinna man was arrested after police say he broke out a window at a local bar in order to steal money.
Matthew M. Guay, 26, was arrested on Sunday night and charged with Class B burglary, Class D criminal mischief and Class E criminal attempted theft, said Somerset County Sheriff’s Department Detective Lt. Carl Gottardi II in a statement on Tuesday.
Gottardi said police received a report of a burglar alarm at the M Room Bar on the Oxbow Road on Sunday.
After he arrived at the bar, Deputy Joseph Jackson discovered that a kitchen-door window had been broken out.
“While checking the building and surrounding area, Deputy Jackson located a male subject on foot near the bar area,” said Gottardi. “Deputy Jackson [identified] the male and the motor vehicle that the male left in.”
Gottardi said that after Jackson spoke with the bar’s owner, he confirmed that the man was the same person allegedly involved in the break-in. The same man was caught on video surveillance, the lieutenant said.
“No items were reported stolen from the bar, as the suspect had sought cash, but none was located,” said Gottardi.
Guay was arrested in Corinna and taken to the Somerset County Jail in Madison. At the time of his arrest, Guay was out on bail for an unrelated matter.
The Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department assisted the Somerset County Sheriff’s Department on the arrest.
this guys 26 but looks 46….welcome to maine
Can someone please tell me if someone is out on bail after being arrested for committing a crime, and get arrested again,why are they let back out. When you promise the judge you will not committ any additional crimes, you go and commit more crimes, shouldn’t you be held in jail until the case is resolved? I mean WTF!
All that sounds good in theory, Randy. Folks get let go for non-violent crimes as often or not because the jail are already full of those who really need to be kept away from the public. “If you come seeking justice, you’ll find just us.”
According to arrest records this is his third arrest. Please do not let this punk out on bail again. Do us all a favor and lock him up for good.
50K a year to lock him up for good. He is 26 right now. Say he lives to 80. That is $2.7 million to throw away the key. Can we send the bill to you?
No , you cant to grl.
Send the bill to the slack judges that keep turning
these confirmed, repetitive menaces to society loose.
Thats who you can send the bill to , bub.
Bub? lol. I haven’t heard that one in thirty years. Thanks for the laugh! lol.
At your service, Bub.
How about ‘buddy boy,’ ‘champ,’ and “pally?’ That last one was my Uncle Lennie’s favorite, usually because he was a bit too lit to remember a lot of names. LOL
You don’t burglarize a local bar! Half the town and some from away will be after you forever. C’mon.
Might depend whether the crook steals the JD and Bud instead of the cheap coffee brandy and the Millers Light Draft… LOL
Another out-of-work rocket scientist, apparently. Them new-fangled burglar alarms are a curse, I tell ya — why would anybody want to put one in a bar full of liquor anyhow. Sometimes I hope, just hope, that a lot of these catch-me-in-the-act crimes are drug-induced because it’s worrying that the average human brain is that far gone. ACK!
