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.
Shedd remained at the jail Friday morning.



Happy holidays!
Her story,I’m carving the turkey this year so back off.lol
Give me a ride over to Best Buy so I can get in line, or I will cut you! lol.
why was she taken to jail should have been taken for apsychiatric evaluation
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”.
Hold my beer occifer and watch this !
Aaah! A nice peaceful family get together…..
Probably a little too much of the Wild Turkey.
She wanted to carve the dang bird and she wasnt taking No for an answer:)
Gotta love the holiday season, great times with the family…
Okay. Next Thanksgiving, this gal does not get to carve the turkey!
At least she didn’t threaten them with her genitalia…..like the Cushing man.
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.
