BANGOR, Maine (AP) - A Maine man accused of threatening his ex-wife with a knife at her apartment has been charged.
A Penobscot County grand jury indicted 54-year-old Howard Williams on multiple charges Wednesday, including attempted murder, aggravated assault and domestic violence criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon.
Bangor police arrested Williams on Aug. 5 after receiving a call about a domestic disturbance from a neighbor in the victim’s apartment. Investigators say Williams tried to strangle his ex-wife and threatened her with a large life. Police say Williams left after the neighbor threatened him with a gun.
Jail paperwork doesn’t indicate whether Williams has a lawyer. He’s being held on $150,000 bail at the Two Bridges Jail in Wiscasset.
