AUGUSTA — A Waterville woman accused of stabbing a neighbor last week remains behind bars in lieu of $100,000 cash bail and her victim is reportedly recovering.

Ashley L. Boivin, 32, told officers who arrested her early Wednesday that she did not know why she did it, a prosecutor told Judge Eric Walker during Boivin’s initial appearance in court.

“She said she didn’t think about it,” Assistant District Attorney Kristin Murray-James said Friday during the hearing at the Capital Judicial Center. Boivin, who is in the Kennebec County jail, made her initial appearance via video link to the court.

Boivin is charged with elevated aggravated assault in the incident which Murray-James said involved an initial verbal argument between Boivin and the 21-year-old victim on Moor Street in Waterville on Tuesday night.

“The victim states Ashley Boivin got in his face, and he pushed her away. He thought she punched him and then saw the knife,” Murray-James said.

She described the weapon as a “folding, replaceable razor-blade knife.” Murray-James said the knife pierced the victim’s small intestine and that he was hospitalized in the critical care unit following surgery. The victim was taken to MaineGeneral Medical Center in Augusta, and on Sunday, a spokeswoman for the hospital said he was treated and released.

Boivin left the scene of the stabbing, but was arrested early Wednesday afternoon when she returned.

Murray-James sought the $100,000 bail, telling Judge Eric Walker that the state wanted to keep Boivin in custody for the public’s safety. She also sought conditions of bail that prohibit Boivin from having contact with a number of witnesses in the case.

Attorney Thomas Tilton, representing Boivin as lawyer of the day, said he preferred to reserve a bail argument for the attorney appointed in Boivin’s case.

Walker agreed to the high bail, saying it was a very serious charge and a troubling case.

In Maine law, elevated aggravated assault indicates a person “intentionally or knowingly causes serious bodily injury to another person with the use of a dangerous weapon.” A conviction carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison.

Boivin said little during the brief hearing.

Her next court hearing is set for 2 p.m. Sept. 15.

Edward A. Sincyr, 44, was arrested near the walking bridge, off Water Street, at 12:01 a.m. after police received a report of threatening.

Officer Jacob Boudreau found Sincyr screaming obscenities and causing a disturbance in the area, according to Detective Sgt. Josh King.

Sincyr had reportedly threatened multiple people in the area. He was also highly intoxicated and belligerent, according to King. Sincyr allegedly resisted arrest when he was placed in handcuffs. A press release from the Skowhegan Police Department Monday said he stared at Boudreau’s gun before gripping it and attempting to take it out of its holster. Sincyr also refused to give officers his information, police said.

Sincyr was charged with disorderly conduct, a Class E misdemeanor; criminal attempt of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, a Class E misdemeanor; failing to provide a correct name and date of birth, a Class E misdemeanor; criminal threatening, a Class D misdemeanor; refusing to submit to arrest or detention, a Class D misdemeanor; and civil possession of marijuana, a civil violation.

Sincyr has had numerous prior arrests, King said, including one that resulted in a protective order that prohibits him from possessing a firearm. In March, he was convicted in Somerset County Superior Court of domestic violence criminal threatening and was sentenced to serve 10 days in jail, according to Morning Sentinel archives.

Additional officers from the police department as well as the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident.

He was taken to Somerset County Jail and is being held there in lieu of a $10,000 bail bond.

FARMINGTON — The Industry man who killed an East Wilton woman while driving drunk in the early hours of New Year’s day was sentenced Monday to serve at least three years in prison.

Tommy Clark, 25, of Industry, was sentenced to seven years, with all but three suspended and three years of probation, and a 10-year license suspension for aggravated operating under the influence. He was also sentenced to four years in prison, with all but three suspended, for leaving the scene of an accident. The prison time is concurrent, meaning Clark will serve at least three years.

At Monday’s 1 p.m. sentencing hearing, Franklin County Judge William Stokes accepted the guilty pleas of Clark on charges of aggravated operating under the influence, Class B, and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury or death, Class C, in connection with the Jan. 1 death of Taylor Gaboury, 21, of East Wilton.

About 40 family members and friends of Gaboury packed the Franklin County Superior courtroom for the roughly two and a half-hour sentencing, most of them wearing Gaboury’s favorite color, purple, and holding flowers and photos of Gaboury.

Gaboury’s parents, her brother Cody and three family friends spoke before the sentencing, asking the judge to impose the maximum sentence for each charge as penalty for the death of Gaboury, who they described as bright, caring and driven.

The sentence “will never be enough for our daughter. It’s something, and hopefully (Clark) gets the message,” Ricky Gaboury, Taylor Gaboury’s father, said outside of the courthouse after Clark’s sentencing. “He’s probably a good individual, but there are so many circumstance of that evening where he could have been that nice person and he chose not to be.”

Gaboury was walking to her parents’ house in Farmington when Clark struck her with his vehicle while driving on U.S. Route 2 near Franklin Memorial Hospital around 1:40 a.m.

Gaboury was intoxicated the night of the accident and made the decision to walk home, according to Deputy District Attorney James Andrews. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Clark told police after he was arrested that he knew he had hit something but didn’t know what it was. According to a police affidavit, he later told investigating officers that he was aware he’d hit a person.

Clark admitted to police after the accident that he checked on Gaboury after hitting her with his car, but when he realized she was dead, he fled to the Colonial Valley Motel in Farmington where he was staying and was later found by police.

Clark’s blood alcohol content at the time of the accident was 0.129 percent, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08.

“I am at a loss for words,” Clark said in court Monday before his sentencing. “I have a hole in my heart, and I would trade my life to bring her back … I am sorry, but I know sorry is only a word.”

‘COSMIC INJUSTICE’

Andrews argued that the “cosmic injustices” of the Jan. 1 accident deserved an eight-year sentence with all but five years suspended and three years of probation for the aggravated operating under the influence charge. He also argued for a five-year sentence on the leaving the scene of an accident charge to run concurrently.

Gaboury “chose to walk several miles in the cold and dark alone to avoid the dangers of intoxicated driving,” Andrews said. “On the other hand, (Clark) drove while intoxicated … It’s that cosmic injustice of these two people coming together on that tragic night that injures the family very deeply.”

Farmington attorney Thomas Carey argued a four-year sentence with all but one year suspended and three years of probation for his client. Carey argued Clark was a good candidate for a probationary sentence because of Clark’s lack of a criminal record and compliance with his bail conditions since he was released in January.

In determining his sentence, Stokes weighed the non-intentional act of Clark killing Gaboury with the intentional act of Clark leaving the scene after determining she was dead, a determination which he said Clark did not have the capacity to do.

Both Andrews and Ricky Gaboury said Clark’s fleeing of the scene spoke to his character.

“Instead of being a man and owning what he had done and going to the hospital … (Clark) chose to run away and leave her in a cold snowy ditch, leaving her to die like an animal,” Ricky Gaboury said addressing the court prior to sentencing. “Tommy Clark is the animal.”

Andrews said that after realizing he had hit someone, Clark went down into the embankment where Gaboury had landed after being struck and “held her in his arms,” getting her blood on his jeans, before making the decision that she was dead and left the scene. He added that this all occurred within a few hundred feet of Franklin Memorial Hospital, where Clark could have gone to alert medical professionals rather than making the determination that she was dead.

Having left his two passengers at the scene to call 911 after determining that Gaboury was dead, Clark did not leave the victim alone, Carey argued and said that medical help was there promptly.

After driving back from a bar in Farmington to the Colonial Valley Motel in his Dodge Dart with two passengers, Clark decided to get in the car again and drive himself and his passengers to Wilton to see a holiday light display, Stokes said. After finding there was no display, Clark began to drive back on U.S. Route 2 east, where he ultimately hit and killed Gaboury.

The two passengers he left initially told police they were alerted to Gaboury’s body by a boot they saw in the roadway. After police found the story suspicious, they returned to the Colonial Valley Motel where they had dropped off the women and found Clark sitting in a car next to his Dodge Dart, which had visible damage on the front passenger side, according to court records.

Clark’s mother, Penelope Clark, told the courtroom Monday that she believes her son fleeing the scene was due to the fact that he watched his father die when he was young.

“He saw his dad lying there, and all he could do was run,” Penelope Clark said. “He left because of traumatic stress.”

Penelope Clark said she was not defending her son’s actions of drunk driving, but she felt she needed to defend why he fled. In the months since the accident, she said she was worried Clark was going to commit suicide.

“He would have gladly given his life for her,” she said.

As the driver of the vehicle, it was Clark’s responsibility to stay at the scene, Stokes said.

In his sentencing argument, Carey also brought forth the report of the accident reconstruction done by Maine State Police, in which Sgt. Darren Foster stated that Gaboury was walking east on Route 2 with her back facing traffic and was wearing all black, which could have been contributing factors to the accident.

However, Foster could not conclude whether Clark’s intoxication was the primary cause of the accident or was a contributing factor.

While Stokes accepted that reconstruction experts indicated that Gaboury’s actions may be contributing factors, she was not driving a vehicle.

“Taylor was not driving a ton and a half vehicle; she was walking,” Stokes said. “She did not get behind the wheel; the defendant did.”

Andrews claimed witnesses said Clark was driving aggressively and throwing cigarettes at other drivers on New Year’s Eve. However, Stokes said none of the witness statements attached to Andrews’ sentencing memorandum indicated Clark specifically as the driver of the vehicle they saw.

In giving his sentence, Stokes said when determining how much of the sentence should be suspended, he looked at Clark’s lack of a criminal record, his compliance with his bail terms, his full-time employment prior to the accident, his proactiveness in seeking counseling after the accident and taking responsibility for the crimes by pleading guilty and sparing the family a trial.

“Mr. Clark is not a monster. What Mr. Clark did was very wrong. He’s going to be held responsible for that,” Stokes said. “But there is good in Mr. Clark, and he should be recognized for that.”

As a part of his sentence, Clark must also pay $2,100 in fines and $250 in restitution to the Farmington Police Department for tests run in connection with the accident. When Clark is released from prison, his bail conditions will prohibit him from consuming and possessing drugs or alcohol, and he must attend alcohol counseling.

VICTIM IMPACT

Stokes stressed to the Gaboury family that while Clark will only serve three years in prison, his sentence is seven years, and if he violates his conditions of release, he will be sent back to prison for the remainder of his sentence.

“The victim impacts (statements),” Stokes said, taking a long pause. “It renders you almost speechless.”

Outside of the courthouse, friends and family of Gaboury gathered behind a sign that said, “Our Lives Matter.”

Tena Trask, Taylor Gaboury’s mother, and Ricky Gaboury told members of the media that they will approach the Legislature under that slogan with a campaign against drunk driving.

While Ricky Gaboury did not say specifically that they would be advocating for stricter sentences for cases involving drunk driving, he said they will take the time until the Legislature meets in January to develop an action plan.

“We’re not sure how we’re going to approach the Legislature with it, but yeah, we need people to learn that if they do something bad like this, it is going to reflect,” Ricky Gaboury said.

Stokes repeatedly said he cannot comprehend the loss that the Gaboury family is going through. After 25 years prosecuting homicides, he said he had no idea how families of victims carry on with their everyday lives.

For Taylor Gaboury’s family, they say their friends and community have given them strength.

Trask said in court that the birth of her daughter made her a better person, and from the moment Gaboury was born, Trask promised to fight for her and protect her.

In grieving the loss of her only daughter, Trask said she will channel the type of person her daughter was.

“Taylor was one of the most forgiving people ever, and she could probably forgive him a whole lot easier than I am going to be able to,” Trask said. “I’m just going to try and live in her honor.”

George Garcia, 25, was arrested at 8:47 p.m. at a Drummond Avenue residence. He was charged with domestic violence assault, class D; theft, class E; obstructing the report of a crime, class D; criminal mischief, class D; and domestic violence terrorizing, a class C felony, because he allegedly had a weapon. The felony charge carries a possible fine of up to $5,000 and up to five years in jail.

Garcia and his former girlfriend had broken up sometime last week, said Bill Bonney, deputy chief of the Waterville police. Garcia allegedly went to the residence Sunday to pick up some of his things and the woman closed the door because she felt afraid, Bonney said.

Garcia then allegedly forced his way into the residence and assaulted her, pushing her down onto the couch and ripping off her necklace, which had sentimental value to her, Bonney said. Garcia also allegedly stole a charm off the necklace. Before leaving, he smashed the woman’s phone so she couldn’t call the police, according to Bonney.

The woman went to a safe place, where she called 911 around 8:30 p.m., before returning home. Police believe that Garcia followed her, because he allegedly appeared outside her residence again when she returned.

Garcia allegedly had a knife and was making threats with it, although it was unclear whether he was threatening to harm himself or the victim, Bonney said.

Fairfield police stopped Garcia first before Waterville police arrived and arrested him at 8:47 p.m.

Garcia was taken to the Kennebec County jail in Augusta. Bail had not yet been set Tuesday afternoon. He is scheduled to appear Aug. 8 in Kennebec County Superior Court.

AUGUSTA — A New York City man was sentenced Tuesday to seven years in prison for peddling heroin in Maine.

Kendell Cagle, also known as “Gudda,” 28, of Manhattan, New York, had pleaded guilty earlier to one count of aggravated trafficking in heroin that occurred Jan. 21, 2016, in Oakland. In exchange for that plea, five other counts of aggravated drug trafficking in heroin, all on different dates that month, were dismissed by the state.

Tuesday’s hearing was a continuation of one that began Thursday, also at the Capital Judicial Center. Cagle was also fined $400.

When Cagle pleaded guilty on June 8, 2016, both his attorney, Jonathan Handelman, and the prosecutor, Assistant Attorney General Katie Sibley, had agreed to cap the prison term at eight years, with Handelman to argue for less.

On Tuesday, Sibley said Cagle should spend all eight years in prison. Handelman asked that half that time be suspended, with Cagle placed on probation for three years. A conviction on the charge carries a minimum mandatory four-year imprisonment.

However, Justice Michaela Murphy told the attorneys that the sentence would need to be longer than eight years if some of it were to be suspended.

The attorneys and the judge spoke in chambers on Thursday, and then the hearing was reset for Tuesday so Handelman could speak with Cagle, and the seven-year sentence was jointly recommended to the judge by both the prosecutor and the defense attorney.

At Thursday’s hearing, Cagle’s mother addressed the judge, saying, “I have an intelligent son. I don’t know what happened down the line.”

She said if “he had time to think, a second chance, he would do things differently.”

Sibley told the judge that Cagle was “asking for a third chance.” He was convicted July 16, 2013, in New York of selling narcotics there and sentenced to a year in prison. Sibley said Cagle apparently served eight months behind bars.

She told the judge that out-of-staters are bringing illegal drugs to Maine because the profits can be double or triple than they are elsewhere.

She said Cagle knew what would happen if he brought drugs here. Sibley said Cagle was found with 88 grams of heroin in one bag and 5 grams divided among another 21 bags.

Sibley said probation was inappropriate for Cagle because he has no substance abuse problem himself.

“People with substance abuse issues should receive probation services,” she said.

In the state’s sentencing memo filed in the case, Sibley wrote that investigators learned in December 2015 and January 2016 that drug traffickers from New York were operating from a Hill Street apartment in Oakland, “moving large amounts of heroin and cocaine base (crack cocaine) from the apartment, including observing hand-to-hand drug transactions right at the window (much like a drive-thru).”

Handelman sought a shorter period behind bars, saying that Cagle had been “witness to violence and criminality and loss at a very young age.” Handelman said Cagle dropped out of school and took up selling marijuana, making very little money.

“A friend connected him with the heroin job,” Handelman said, adding, “The profits Ms. Sibley was talking about didn’t go to Kendell.”

Handelman argued that probation would help Cagle and ensure that he was doing the correct things.

Handelman said Cagle has been jailed “with people who were literally his former customers” and that Cagle told him he “saw the wreckage” caused by the drugs.

Cagle is taking steps to get a General Educational Development diploma and wants to get into a legitimate trade, Handelman said.

“Really what we’re asking for is a sentence of under five years to keep him in Windham rather than Warren,” Handelman told Murphy.

Prior to Cagle’s hearing on Thursday, Cagle’s co-defendant, Shayna Shaw-Jenney, 25, of Oakland, was sentenced to an initial one year behind bars, with an additional four years suspended. She was placed on probation for three years, with conditions that prohibit her from having contact with Cagle. She also was fined $400.

She had pleaded guilty June 8 to unlawful trafficking in heroin that occurred Jan. 20, 2016, in her apartment in Oakland. In exchange for her plea, five other trafficking charges, all dated in January 2016, were dismissed. Her attorney said Shaw-Jenney already had served about 100 days while being held on the charges.

Both she and Cagle forfeited to the state $1,640 in cash that was seized at the time of their arrest. Police seized almost 100 grams of heroin, about 1,000 doses, and other evidence of drug trafficking as well as the money in an early morning raid Jan. 21, 2016, on Shaw-Jenney’s Hill Street apartment.

A New York man who’s been wanted in Maine the last five months in connection with a homicide in Augusta late last year has been arrested in New York City.

Aubrey Armstrong, 27, was arrested Friday morning in a home in Queens, charged with being a fugitive from justice, according to a news release from Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

According to the Queens District Attorney’s Office, Armstrong, who is also known as Aubry Armstrong, was arraigned on Friday in criminal court in Queens and is next due in court Oct. 3 in New York state.

Armstrong is the fourth person to be charged in connection with the death of Joseph Marceau, 31, of Augusta. Marceau was beaten to death Nov. 23 in a Washington Street apartment in what authorities said was a drug-related homicide.

McCausland said Tuesday that Armstrong is contesting extradition to Maine.

“His arrival here will be at some point, but we don’t know when that will be,” he said in an interview.

The charge Armstrong is answering in New York is being a fugitive from justice, McCausland said. Armstrong will not be charged with murder until he is in Maine.

“The extradition process has its own timeline, and we’re not sure when this will be resolved or when he will be returned to Maine,” he said.

Three other people were charged with murder previously in the Marceau case.

On Jan. 26, Zina Marie Fritze, 27, and Michael Sean McQuade, 45, both of Augusta, pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder. A day later, Fritze died after she was found unresponsive and hanging from a bed sheet in her cell in the Kennebec County jail. She had not been considered to be a significant threat to herself, jail officials said.

In February, Damik Davis, 26, of New York, pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder.

Both Davis and McQuade are being held at the Kennebec County jail without bail.

Around 8 p.m. Nov. 23, neighbors reported a disturbance in a fourth-floor apartment at 75 Washington St. The body of Marceau, who was a resident of Winthrop Street, was found in the apartment.

Augusta police and a state police dog searched the neighborhood, and Davis was arrested a short time later. Police continued searching for two other people who were occupants of the apartment.

Those tenants were Fritze and McQuade, who were arrested Jan. 22, 2016, on alleged probation violations on the same day when indictments against the pair were handed up by a grand jury in Kennebec County; the indictments were sealed until Jan. 25. Police had questioned Fritze and McQuade two days after Marceau’s body was found, but they had been released without charges.

On Feb. 16, 2016, authorities identified Armstrong as the fourth person involved in the murder. A Kennebec County grand jury indicted Armstrong, who goes by the street name “Butta.”

At the time, McCausland said Armstrong had probably returned to New York, and police had been working with both the New York police and the U.S. Marshals Service to find him. Additional information about the circumstances of Armstrong’s arrest in Queens was not immediately available.

Few details about Marceau’s death have been released, although police at the time said it was a drug-related killing. Assistant Attorney General John Alsop said earlier this year that Marceau had been beaten to death, and no knives or firearms were involved.

Marceau, who had lived earlier in Gardiner, lived about a mile away in an apartment on Winthrop Street.

WATERVILLE — Cops on bikes are less threatening than cops in cruisers.

They can get into places such as alleys and parks that cruisers can’t, and bike patrol officers can smell a potential fire, see someone breaking into a building, hear a fight going on and touch things while on a bicycle that they can’t while in a car.

Beyond that, bikes are economical and low-maintenance.

“When you’re on a bike, you get to use all your senses to take in your environment, so that’s a great advantage in itself,” police Chief Joseph Massey said Tuesday. “It really gives that officer those advantages you don’t get in a car.”

The Waterville police bike patrol, in existence 16 years, has been successful, according to Massey.

Several officers are trained for the bike patrol and cruise through the streets of the city every week, not only helping to maintain public safety, but also establishing a relationship with the community, Massey said. Bike patrol officers develop relationships with children and help promote bike safety, he said.

“There’s no question the public seems to enjoy seeing bike officers out there,” Massey said. “They’re approachable, and that’s what we want to do.”

He said that in May, a sergeant makes up a bike patrol schedule for the warm months and officers go out on a weekly basis. They do not go out every day, but do so depending on staffing, weather and other factors, according to Massey.

“In summertime, we put them out as much as we can,” he said.

Having bike patrols allows police to concentrate on issues such as car burglaries, loitering, suspicious drug activity and the like, he said. Officers ticket people who park illegally, for instance, and if they see someone violating motor vehicle laws, they pull them over.

The bike patrol started 16 years ago when officer Dan Goss, who now is a Waterville police sergeant, wrote a proposal and presented it to then-Chief John Morris, who now is commissioner of the state Department of Public Safety.

“The chief was very much in support of the bike patrol,” said Massey, who at the time was deputy chief. “It has been a great tool and a resource for us over the years. Bikes are certainly less threatening than patrol vehicles. My own experience is, I think the amount of contacts with the average citizen is doubled or tripled.”

AUGUSTA — A New York woman charged with aggravated assault after shots were fired in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Augusta last month will remain behind bars at least temporarily.

A judge on Tuesday declined to rule on a request to lower the $5,000 bail set for Diana Davis, 29, of Rochester.

However, Justice Donald Marden said he would be amenable to reducing the bail amount if Maine Pretrial Services agreed to supervise her.

At Tuesday’s bail hearing at the Capital Judicial Center, Davis’ attorney, William Baghdoyan, said Davis has been held since the June 26, 2016, incident, but that the only discovery material he has received from the state is a two-page affidavit by Augusta Police Detective Brian Wastella with one line concerning Davis.

Baghdoyan said there are a number of co-defendants as well as a number of witnesses, including the two armed civilians who intervened following the shooting, but he has not seen a police report or anything else.

“We don’t have any statements from anybody,” he said.

Baghdoyan said the state alleges that after Davis’ vehicle was shot, “she assisted her brother in subduing the alleged shooter.”

Davis is one of four people charged in the incident, which investigators characterized as a drug deal gone bad, and which the participants told police was a dispute over money.

Wastella’s report indicates that Davis was in a silver Volkswagen with her brother Frankie DeJesus, 26, of Rochester, New York, and having an argument with Reginald “Reggie” Kweasia McBride, 45, of Harlem and Samantha Tupper, 24, of Augusta, who were in a separate vehicle parked alongside them.

After several gunshots were exchanged between DeJesus and McBride, striking the vehicles, but not injuring anyone, a fight erupted.

Tupper told police, “DeJesus and Davis began beating McBride, observing DeJesus hitting McBride in the head with the butt of his gun while Davis restrained McBride,” Wastella wrote. Both men later claimed they fired in self-defense.

Baghdoyan had a different version: “When the other guy’s gun jammed and it would shoot any more, she and her brother got out to stop him,” Baghdoyan said.

Baghdoyan told the judge that Davis has no criminal record and does not have family in Maine. He suggested a cash bail amount of between $500 and $1,000, saying “$5,000 is out of whack.”

At a June 27 initial appearance hearing on the aggravated assault charge, Davis told a different judge that she had been living in Maine for the past month and a half and was a subcontractor doing demolition, landscaping and residential moving and that her brother moved up to Maine after she did.

“I’m going to live at my brother’s house,” Davis said during Tuesday’s hearing.

DeJesus is charged with reckless conduct with a firearm and aggravated assault, Class B. His bail is set at $25,000, and he remains at the Kennebec County jail.

Deputy District Attorney Paul Cavanaugh asked that bail for Davis remain at $5,000.

“The state feels the bail was set appropriately,” he said.

He said the state is concerned that Davis would flee Maine.

“This is certainly a serious matter in which she was somehow involved,” Marden said. “Officers allege in this affidavit that she may well be involved in illegal drug trade.”

He added that he was more concerned that Davis had no place to live here and no ties.

“There’s really nothing to keep her in Maine,” he said.

McBride remains jailed in lieu of $50,000 cash bail, and Tupper is being held without bail on a motion to revoke her probation. The two were arrested outside Tupper’s home in Augusta shortly after the shooting. Police said they located a 42-gram block of heroin on McBride at the time. He is charged with reckless conduct with a firearm and aggravated trafficking in heroin.

In May, Tupper pleaded guilty to unlawful trafficking in cocaine base and was sentenced to an initial 45 days in jail, which she already had served, and the remainder of the four-year sentence was suspended. She was placed on probation for two years for that offense, which occurred July 28, 2015, in Randolph.

When police knocked on the door Monday evening at Indian Ridge Apartments, it was answered by a man with a knife in his hand who challenged officers to shoot him.

Skowhegan police Chief Don Bolduc said the encounter could have ended at that moment with the use of deadly force by police. Instead, officers defused the situation. Mykel Rollins, 28, was subdued with a Taser stun gun, arrested and taken to jail.

“This is one of the many instances where Maine law enforcement avoids using deadly force in an instance where it would clearly be justified,” Bolduc said in a news release Tuesday. He said that availability of the Taser and teamwork by the officers led to Rollins being arrested “without anybody suffering any injury.”

While Bolduc’s comments come amid a national discussion about over the use of excessive force by police in the wake of several high profile police shootings as well as shootings of police, he said in an interview Tuesday he would have made the comments “now, a year ago, or probably a year from now.”

He also tempered his news release comment about deadly force being “clearly justified,” saying that the use of the Taser was justified and that the use of deadly force “could have been justified if he would have approached the officers to try and stab them.

“I want to make it very clear that if the situation had gone a little bit differently, we could have used deadly force on him, but instead, we were able to use the Taser,” Bolduc said.

Rollins was arrested around 5 p.m. Monday on a charge of domestic violence criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, a class B felony, after police responded to a report that he was threatening his brother with a knife at the apartment on Indian Ridge Road.

The knife had a serrated blade about 10 to 12 inches long and was the type that might be used to cut a loaf of bread, Skowhegan Detective Sgt. Joshua King said Tuesday.

When officers knocked on the door of Rollins’ apartment, he answered, holding the knife, and challenged officers to shoot him, said King, who was at the scene Monday along with another detective and two officers. He and Bolduc didn’t specify who the other officers were.

Rollins allegedly also made threats to other people at the residence about killing them or cutting them up and was waving the knife at officers. King said Rollins did not make threats to officers, but he refused to put the knife down when asked several times, King said.

When the Taser was used on Rollins, he dropped the knife, police said. Bolduc and King didn’t name the officers involved in the encounter.

Bolduc said Monday’s encounter, as well as one over the weekend in Skowhegan in which a man allegedly tried to grab an officer’s gun while resisting arrest, illustrate how important it is for people to comply with police instructions.

“The use of deadly force is a very serious issue,” Bolduc said. “I don’t want people to take it lightly and I want them to know that we don’t either, especially in light of everything that’s going on around the nation.”

Deadly force is justified if an officer feels he or she is at risk of being severely injured or killed, or that someone else is, according to Bolduc and King.

A 2011 investigation by the Portland Press Herald/ Maine Sunday Telegram found that nearly half of people shot by Maine police since 2000 had mental health problems and the vast majority of Maine’s 3,500 officers lacked crisis intervention training to defuse deadly conflicts. The Maine attorney general’s office investigates all police shootings and has never found one to be unjustified.

Bolduc said while his comments weren’t based on recent national events involving police shootings, “I’ve been at this 26 or 27 years and there’s definitely been a change in the overall respect for police officers nationwide.”

According to The Washington Post, 984 people were shot dead by police in 2015, including two in Maine. Of those, 782 were armed with a deadly weapon, though the data base doesn’t specify what the weapon was. In 2016, 541 have been shot and killed by police.

According to the FBI, police rarely use deadly force in cases involving knives. Of more than 2,200 justifiable homicides reported nationwide between 2010 and 2014, just three involved knives, while the vast majority involved firearms, according to FBI data.

King said, “It’s not just having a knife in their pocket. But if they’re brandishing it at us and it’s in close proximity where it’s reasonable for them to have an opportunity to cut us, then yeah, a knife is a deadly weapon and that’s how we’re going to meet that threat, is with deadly force — unless we have the opportunity and the manpower to do it this way that we did (Monday).”

Rollins does not have a criminal history in Skowhegan. Both Bolduc and King said Tuesday that they are not sure what sparked the incident Monday. He was evaluated at Redington-Fairview General Hospital before bring taken to the Somerset County Jail. Bail hasn’t yet been set. Additional charges are likely pending review by the Somerset County District Attorney’s Office, the release said.

AUGUSTA — Officers Brad Chase and Carly Wiggin hadn’t been on their bicycles for long Tuesday morning when news came that two men were fighting in downtown Augusta, on a corner of Bridge and Water streets.

Chase and Wiggin had left the police station recently and needed a couple minutes to pedal to the scene. By the time they arrived, several officers already had arrived and begun interviewing those involved. Though they were not investigating the incident, Chase and Wiggin stuck around and chatted with a number of the people present.

“Our response time is not as fast,” Chase said. “We were acting as backup, like scene security.”

Police defused the situation, and Chase and Wiggin pedaled their bikes down the waterfront.

A half hour later, they returned to Water Street for a different purpose: They entered the Vickery Cafe and chatted with members of the lunch crowd. They also took cellphone pictures of themselves — selfies — that the staff proceeded to post on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

“We LOVE our AUGUSTA POLICE DEPT!” the business wrote in the Facebook post.

Both Chase and Wiggin hold special roles in the Augusta Police Department. As the department’s community resource officer, Chase tries to engage the public through talks and programs. Wiggin, the department’s school resource officer, spends much of the year working in Augusta schools.

But beginning this month, they have been wearing different hats — or helmets, really. They have been patrolling downtown Augusta on bicycles and plan to do so for the rest of summer, an effort designed to improve public safety and make inroads with the community.

In the past, Deputy Chief Jared Mills said, Augusta officers have been encouraged to take the department’s bicycles out with them on patrol, but it has never been efficient for officers who are called to situations several miles away and need to get into their cruisers.

This is the first time the department has had a deep enough roster to allow it to put specialty officers such as Wiggin and Chase on full-time bicycle duty, Mills said.

That could allow them to detect some crimes that an officer in a police car wouldn’t, Mills said.

Chase said that the Kennebec River Rail Trail has been the site of some incidents that required a police response, such as the report of a man who kicked a woman’s puppy in 2015.

He also recalled making an arrest in the last couple weeks. He was on foot, and another officer was on a bicycle, and they noticed a man who had several outstanding arrest warrants walk out of the woods. They might not have noticed the man had they been in police cars, Chase said.

“Just by being here, I can’t say I prevented x number of crimes,” he said. “But I think it is a deterrent.”

However, the more important goal of the bicycle patrols is to give the public opportunities to interact with police in less tense or adversarial ways — such as posing for pictures with them in restaurants or cycling past them on the rail trail.

“I see Brad and Carly, and it’s their full-time job to be out there and have that positive community contact,” Mills said. “Brad really gets the credit for bringing this to us. Obviously, we supported him.”

Chase and Wiggin said they try to interact with all people coming through downtown, including those who might have been charged with crimes in the past and who do not hold the police in high regard.

“It changes the perception they have,” Wiggin said. As a school resource officer, she has met students who tell her flat-out, “I don’t like you,” but then developed a better relationship with her over time, she said.

Augusta isn’t the only municipality to try bicycle policing. This summer, the Waterville Police Department sent out officers on bike patrol as part of a program that’s been going on for about 16 years. The Winthrop Police Department is also considering the feasibility of having an officer monitor downtown on bicycle.

In Augusta, the officers are sticking mainly to downtown.

After receiving many complaints of drug dealing, petty crime and disorderly conduct from that part of town, the city expanded patrols there in 2014. That change has “significantly reduced the number of issues there,” Mills said. Several downtown business owners agreed. While not all of them have seen Chase and Wiggin on their patrols yet, those businesses supported the presence of officers in the area.

Levi “Sonny” Chavarie, owner of Sonny’s Museum and Rock Shop, said people used to ask for money frequently outside his store, which he thought was a nuisance. But since the police started patrolling Water Street on foot, the panhandlers have left, he said.

Colleen Tyler, owner of the Vickery Cafe, was supportive of both the bike patrols and the police presence in downtown Augusta, saying officers have been quick to respond when people trespassed in her restaurant.

“We love having them in here, and they love interacting with my customers,” she said of Chase and Wiggin. “We had four kids in here earlier, and they gave out stickers to them. I think it’s a really positive thing having them down here.”

Sen. Scott Cyrway, R-Benton, was presented with the 2016 Daryl Gates Lifetime Achievement Award at the International DARE Training Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, July 19.

The award is given annually to a DARE officer “who has distinguished themselves in their dedication to DARE and whose efforts demonstrate a commitment to DARE beyond the high standards evidenced by others involved in the program,” according to a news release from the Maine state Senate Majority Office.

Cyrway has been a DARE officer for 24 years and is the DARE training coordinator for the state. He is also involved with the Northern New England DARE, according to the release. In his first term as a state senator, he represents Senate District 16, which includes Albion, Benton, Clinton, Fairfield, Unity Township, Waterville and Winslow.

The award is named for the founder of DARE, which stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education and was launched in 1983 to educate children about drug abuse.

Cyrway had a career in law enforcement before retiring, including as a corrections officer and assistant jail administrator.

During the 127th Legislature, Cyrway made it a priority to continue the public service on which he has built his career, sponsoring legislation to combat Maine’s drug crisis, protect Maine students, and protect Maine’s first responders, according to the release.
