RUMFORD – A Rumford man remained behind bars Tuesday in Paris, unable to make bail after being jailed Monday on several charges.
Michael P. Moore, 21, is charged with burglary, disorderly conduct, impersonating a public servant, criminal threatening, criminal trespass and furnishing scheduled drugs.
After failing to post bail of either $10,000 cash or $200,000 surety, Moore was taken to Oxford County Jail in Paris, Detective Lt. Stacy Carter said Tuesday.
Carter said Moore’s extensive criminal history and the felony burglary and drug-furnishing charges led to the high bail.
The incident began at 9:29 a.m. Monday when police received a report that a man was trying to break into the back door of a Waldo Street apartment, Carter said. Two officers responded to find the man gone. Carter said based on a description given them, they identified Moore as the suspect.
“The criminal-threatening charge came from a handwritten note to the resident, with Moore threatening him, because the resident owed him money for cocaine,” Carter said, reading from the officers’ report, which had not been completed.
