BANGOR, Maine — Bangor police arrested a local woman Wednesday night after she allegedly struck a bicyclist intentionally on Birch Street
Amanda Rounds, 27, first came to the attention of Bangor police about 9:30 p.m., when she reportedly was seen driving a car erratically, Bangor police Sgt. Tim Cotton said Thursday in a news release.
“The woman was first encountered by an off-duty Bangor police lieutenant,” Cotton said. “He reported that the woman appeared to purposely drive her vehicle into a snowbank and then became belligerent when asked about the situation.”
When city patrol officers arrived, they learned that Rounds had left her initial location and had then intentionally struck a bicyclist traveling up Birch Street, Cotton said. An investigation indicated that Rounds and the man on the bicycle knew each other and had recently been involved in an altercation.
Rounds was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and criminal mischief.
During a follow-up investigation, Bangor police determined that it was possible
that the incident may have involved the production of methamphetamines, Cotton said. That information was turned over to the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and agents were on scene conducting an investigation on Thursday afternoon.
