A 34-year-old Oregon man was arrested in Bangor on Wednesday after allegedly assaulting a police officer during an altercation at a Main Street business.

Bangor Police say that on the morning of Wednesday, April 30, they responded to a report of a person refusing to leave the property of an unnamed business on Main Street.

Upon arrival, officers encountered Devin Anderson, 34, of Lebanon, Ore., outside the building.

During the confrontation, he allegedly slammed one officer’s head into the pavement, causing a concussion. The injured officer was treated at a local hospital.

After subduing Anderson, police took him to Penobscot County Jail, where he faces charges of assault on an officer (a Class C felony), criminal trespass, refusing to submit to arrest, and violating conditions of release.

Anderson, who police say is on probation for prior convictions in Oregon, is being held without bail. It remains unclear whether he will be extradited to Oregon.

I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

I’m just getting over the symptoms of a concussion I got in early March. The officer is going to need a long time of solid rest to recover.
