BANGOR, Maine — A local man who was arrested twice in four days got so mad when police took him into custody for the second time last week that he used his head to damage the police cruiser, Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said.
“Damage was done to the car by smashing his face into it,” the sergeant said, referring to Paul A. Allen, 36, of Bangor.
Police were dispatched to Allen’s apartment on Forest Avenue at about 7 p.m. Nov. 20 after he reportedly assaulted a 24-year-old woman, described as his girlfriend.
“She was pushed, slapped and choked — all during the day,” Edwards said. “It had been going on throughout the day.”
The victim declined medical attention, he said.
When Officers Wade Betters, Joe Baillargeon and two others attempted to arrest Allen, who had been charged four days earlier for allegedly having diverted prescription pills, hypodermic needles and a spring-loaded knife, he put up a fight, Edwards said.
“He didn’t go very easily,” the sergeant said. “He forcibly head-butted the trunk of the car. He continued to yell and swear. He head-butted the back passenger window and kicked the window.”
Allen was charged with felony aggravated criminal mischief for damaging the cruiser and domestic violence assault. He was taken to Penobscot County Jail and remained there Tuesday, a jail official said. (Nok-Noi Ricker, BDN)
Just because that bottle of coffee brandy had your name on it didn’t mean the whole bottle was for you.
Good one……
How’d that feel? Knock any sense in to you? Hmm.. doubt it.
Perhaps Mr. Allen can score a job at GM or Ford testing their police vehicles for durability. In addition to head-butting he could kick out side windows, rip out headliners etc. and bash windshields. He might have a future in the auto industry.
What else to expect? He looks like a “Butthead”!
There’s a guy who knows how to use his head…Butt…
Thats why i didnt become a cop. Hit my cruiser and when i got the punk back to a jail cell, he would think he went back in time to an old fashion, backwater 1930s southern style jail cell. His hands would shake the next time he thought he was going to jail.
They’d hopefully have weeded you out if you tried to be a cop since you have no problem committing a cowardly crime under the color of authority.
Unfortunately they don’t weed them all out.
Well he did push, slap, and choke his 24 year old girlfriend all day, and then assault the police and their cruiser with his face because he was mad about getting arrested again so soon after being arrested for a weapon, needles, and having someone else’s medication.
Thank goodness nobody hurt him and he’s okay. A quick trip and fall down the the stairs or clumsily breaking his woman-choking fingers in the car door would have been cowardly and tragic.
No need to confuse firm, defensive force with sadistic brutality against defenseless prisoners.
Or defenseless girlfriends.
Girlfriends, prisoners…those that beat on the defenseless are cowards.
How about people who shoot defenseless animals like deer?
I’ve no issue with hunting as long as it’s sporting. Not comparable.
Well, you are right, and not legal to exact justice. The police more often than not rough up the wrong guy.
But, next time, after he chokes and slaps her around again, just let him demolish the car with his face. Say “no, please stop hitting the car with your face… please stop…. (sip coffee) please stop… you are hurting the car…. stop please…. wait you missed a spot…. stop please, don’t hit it any more…it’s laughing at you… stop… why did it make you hit it?
Let him get it out of his system. Unlike the victimized woman, the car can’t feel pain.
Haha, yeah I suppose I could live with that. :D
The dense steel jail doors ‘accidentally’ shutting on his fingers would be no picnic in the park on a Sunday afternoon experience for him either.
Well….The only one that i see screwed up more than he is: The girl friend that stayed with him all day. Don’t suppose they were on drugs though. Bangor is becoming the cesspool of Maine.
Not ‘becoming’ but ‘is’ Once crack cocaine [see other story] gets into a community,its over for the community.
Naaaw, i never tried to be a cop. I knew what i would be like. I talked myself out of being a captain of a nuclear sub too, i knew what i would be like with that job ,the way i like pressing buttons.
Some buttons are easier to push than others.
Pressing buttons …. Good one.
Yessah !
Should have helped him headbutt the pavement several times….
My thoughts exaclty- thank you!!!
lol,, would that be called an,, ass-fault test?
Great, great job to the 4 officers of BPD who had to deal with this dude. Really bad stuff always requires 3 or more officers, and that’s what makes me nervous for officers in small departments. You all did well. Hey “Judge Whoever”, how about jail without bail until trial on all charges? It takes an IQ of only one to know that this dude needs help and is a public safety menace, unwilling to change his ways voluntarily.
Where the hell is that missing bucket of fish guts when you need it? He could have head butted that. It wouldn’t have hurt nearly as much and he could bask in that
“heady” aroma. Eeeewwwwww…..
I’ll fix you cops!! I’ll bang my head on your cruiser until I knock myself out….”What a Genius”.
