LIVERMORE FALLS — A Livermore man faces charges after police say he walked into an apartment at the Meadowbrook complex Sunday night and made threats to a resident.
David Smith, 57, of Livermore was arrested at a Jay sports club on a felony charge of burglary and misdemeanor charges of terrorizing and criminal mischief, Livermore Falls police Chief Ernest Steward Jr. said Monday.
Conviction for the felony is punishable by up to 10 years in prison; the misdemeanor by up to 364 days.
Smith told police he knocked on the door and entered the apartment when no one came to the door. He was looking for a friend of his, Steward said, who turned out not to be there. The woman who lives there was putting her children to bed and didn’t hear any knocking, he said. When she came out into the kitchen, Smith was standing there holding a broom in his hand, he said. The woman had previously met Smith but only knew him by his first name.
Smith left the residence prior to police arriving at the complex off Moose Hill Road.
Livermore Falls officers John Furr and Steve Allen, along with Jay police, went to the Hillside Sports Club and arrested Smith, Steward said. Smith posted $1,060 cash bail and was released from the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn and is scheduled to appear Feb. 25 in the Androscoggin County Superior Court.
