Bangor Man Out on Bail Accused of Robbing Store, Stabbing Customer with Used Needle

The Holden Police Department on Monday announced the arrest of a Bangor man after he allegedly robbed a store and stabbed a customer with a used needle while being subdued by an employee and several customers.

Clifford Neville, 41, of Bangor, was arrested Sunday on charges of robbery, aggravated assault, five counts of violation of bail, and on two outstanding warrants.

Holden Police say Clifford left a local store on Sunday with several unpurchased items.

When confronted by an employee of the store, Clifford allegedly assaulted the employee with a weapon.

According to Holden Police, the employee and several customers managed to subdue Clifford, but not before he stabbed a customer with a used needle.

“We will not be identifying the Store and although we commend the actions of the people involved we never recommend confronting shoplifters or others involved in crime and instead calling 911,” Holden Police stated Monday.

“I think it goes without saying that Clifford should not have been on the streets,” Holden Police stated, adding that the Sunday incident “was the second arrest in 24 hours of someone out on five conditions of release.”

Got to love that Kalifornia mentality! Next they’ll be turning them out on the street with no bail like NYC! Herr Mills turning Maine into a leftist sh*thole! The worst governor in the history of the state and an embarrassment to humanity!!
