BANGOR, Maine — A man from Bangor accused of threatening court officers with a cattle prod at the Penobscot Judicial Center appeared before a judge on Monday.
Police say 50-year-old Darryl Vaillancourt had to be tasered by marshals last Friday before he could be taken into custody.
According to a police report, Vaillancourt said he had come to "kick some ass."
Bangor Police have charged him with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and criminal trespass.
The judge on Monday said he considered this a very serious crime and set Vaillancourt's bail at $3,000, which is higher than the state had requested.
If convicted, Vaillancourt faces up to five years in prison.
