BANGOR, Maine — A Bangor woman who allegedly threatened a family member with a knife on Thanksgiving Day finished off the holiday in jail, according to police.

Ashley Shedd, 26, was charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and domestic violence criminal threatening, according to Bangor police Lt. Steve Hunt.

Officers Tim Shaw, Kevin Haefele and Paul Colley responded to a Parkview Avenue residence late Thursday afternoon after it was reported a woman there was threatening to kill herself and family members with the knife, Hunt said Friday morning, citing a police report.

Shedd was arrested and taken to the Penobscot County Jail, according to Hunt. The criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon charge is a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

    1. I wasn’t there so don’t know what happened but I was thinking maybe she calmed down once the officers got there, or maybe she just needed a night in the “drunk tank”.

  1. Exactly why family get togethers should be clean and sober ones. I recall many drunkin ones by the adults as I child, sure we had fun no one was sober enough to care what we were doing. Looking back at the time when that all ended, I thank God for putting an end to it before the next generation was witness to the stupidity.
