Portland Police announced Monday the arrest of a Lewiston man over the weekend in connection with two incidents at the Commercial St. Starbucks and Becky’s Diner.

On Saturday, Aug. 5 at 9 a.m., Portland Police responded to a report of a male bothering customers and causing a disturbance at the waterfront Starbucks on the corner of Market St. and Commercial St.

The male refused to identify himself, and officers arrested him and took him to the Cumberland County Jail after speaking with sidewalk vendors outside of the coffee shop.

Immediately following this first call, police received a report of a burglary at Becky’s Diner just down the street from the Starbucks.

An investigation revealed a male had entered the property and poured windshield washer fluid onto several chairs, tables, a baby seat booster and several mugs and cups that were to be used for food service that morning.

Becky’s was able to be notified of the person inside the diner and no one was injured.

Officers linked the man arrested at the Starbucks to the incident at Becky’s Diner after an investigation.

Edwell Domonic Gethers, 44, of Lewiston was charged with Failure to Provide Correct Name, Address, DOB; and Indecent Conduct and Violating Conditions of Release for the incident at Starbucks.

From the incident at Becky’s Diner, Gethers was charged with Burglary, Theft by Unauthorized Taking or Transfer and Reckless Conduct.

Excellent work Victoria…thank you for the link. Social services are overwhelmed and are unable to fulfill the empty promises of the Democommie regime.
