BANGOR, Maine — The 20-year-old Bangor man charged in connection with a stabbing Saturday night at Pickering Square remained Tuesday at the Penobscot County Jail unable to post $50,000 cash bail.
Andrew Langley of Bangor is charged with aggravated assault, a Class A crime, due to his prior conviction for a Class B aggravated assault earlier this year in Piscataquis County, according to the Penobscot County district attorney’s office.
Langley made his first court appearance Tuesday at the Penobscot Judicial Center by videoconference from the jail. He was not asked to enter a plea because he has not yet been indicted by the Penobscot County grand jury.
Langley allegedly stabbed a 20-year-old Old Town man he knew about 5:15 p.m. Saturday after the two got into a fight over Langley’s girlfriend, according to the police affidavit filed at the courthouse. Langley and his girlfriend had a fight on Saturday morning and she allegedly broke up with him.
She went to Pickering Square where she met and spent the afternoon with the victim, the affidavit said. When Langley arrived at the square Saturday afternoon, the three got along until the girlfriend decided to spend the night with the victim in Old Town. Once they got on the bus, Langley became agitated and “came running up to the bus and began to bang on the window with his fist and yell angrily at [the victim] who began yelling back at [Langley] through the window,” a witness told police.
The victim got off the bus and the two men began fighting, the affidavit said. At some point, Langley stabbed the victim in the neck and arm.
Langley then ran off, witnesses told police. He was arrested without incident a short time later outside the Union Street apartment where he had been staying.
The victim was taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center for treatment, according to police. The district attorney’s office had no information on his condition Tuesday. He was listed in fair condition Monday.
If convicted of Class A aggravated assault, Langley faces up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $50,000.
