BANGOR, Maine — A Brewer man was sentenced Thursday to 21 days at the Penobscot County Jail after pleading guilty to more than half a dozen misdemeanor charges, a local prosecutor said.
Jarrod Williams, 40, of Brewer turned himself in Tuesday to an investigator in the district attorney’s office, according to jail personnel. That was the same day Brewer police asked for the public’s help in finding Williams to serve warrants for his arrest.
Williams, who is free on $700 cash bail and conditions that include his being supervised by Maine Pretrial Services, was ordered to begin serving his sentence on June 25, Alice Clifford, deputy district attorney for Penobscot County, said Thursday.
In a plea agreement, Williams pleaded guilty to terrorizing, disorderly conduct, refusing to submit to arrest, violation of a condition of release, failure to appear, operating after suspension and allowing the operation of a defective motor vehicle, Clifford said. Two counts of terrorizing were dismissed.
Williams’ legal troubles began nearly a year ago when he was arrested July 1 by Bangor police after berating umpires during a Little League softball game he was coaching, according to previously published reports. He was charged with disorderly conduct after he had been ejected from the game by umpires and refused to leave, repeatedly yelling and swearing.
His most recent brush with Brewer law enforcement came May 18 when officers used a Taser on him in an incident in the parking lot of the police station.
In that incident, a group of people were attempting to file a complaint against Williams, and he grew uncooperative when he was repeatedly asked to leave the area of the station. Police deployed a Taser on him after he got into his vehicle and tried to drive off.
In addition to jail time, District Court Judge Charles Budd ordered Williams to pay a $250 fine and $350 in restitution.
