Bangor police arrested a 20-year-old man early Thursday morning after he allegedly tried to break into a Center Street apartment, was sent away by officers, and then returned minutes later to attempt to enter the home again and threaten the resident who had called the police.
Why it matters
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about repeat offenders and the challenges law enforcement faces in dealing with individuals who continue to engage in criminal behavior despite previous warnings and arrests.
The details
According to Bangor police, the initial incident occurred around 3:15 a.m. when a resident reported someone was trying to kick in the door of their Center Street apartment. Officers found the suspect, identified as Hunter Targon, and told him to leave, which he did. However, police say Targon returned just minutes later, entered through a separate door, and tried to get into the apartment again while also threatening the resident who had called the authorities. Targon resisted arrest, and police say he was already out on bail for a previous arrest on March 1 for refusing to submit to arrest or detention.
