BANGOR – Two young men are facing felony burglary charges for allegedly breaking into Nicky’s Cruising Diner on Union Street early Tuesday morning.
On June 21, around 2:27a.m., Officer Kevin Murphy responded to the report of an audible alarm coming from Nicky’s Crusin’ Diner located at 957 Union Street. As Murphy was checking the building, he noticed a broken window on one side, where someone had created steps out of cinderblocks leading to the window. While officers were waiting at the diner, a witness called and reported that they saw two people running away from the building towards Ohio Street after the alarm sounded.
Officer Kim Donnell was in the area and stopped two men who matched the given descriptions in the vicinity of the Cedar Woods Apartments. They were identified as Michael Allen Reis, 19, of New Sharon, and a 17-year-old juvenile from Bangor, who will not be identified due to his age.
The manager provided surveillance video to the investigating officers. With the video and other information obtained through the course of the investigation, Murphy had probable cause to arrest the two men for burglary.
Officers then converged on a Longrail Avenue residence and advised both males that they were under arrest. Reis reportedly became aggressive towards the officers and had to be physically restrained. Once he was placed inside a police car, he became more violent and kicked out both of the back windows of the car. Reis was further restrained, placed in another police car, and while being transported to the jail attempted to once again kick out one of the back windows of the second police car, causing damage to the frame.
Reis was ultimately transported to the Penobscot County Jail and was charged with class B felony burglary, class B aggravated criminal mischief, and refusal to submit to arrest.
The juvenile was charged with class c felony burglary and later transported to Mountain View Youth Development in Charleston.
Both police cars were placed out of service as a result of the windows broken out frame damage and the cost to repair both cars is approximately $1,000.

Re: The Balcony incident on Essex St. in Bangor Maine. I've seen that street going down hill since the 1990s. You can point at any random apt building or house and 8 times out of 10 it's probably a place where you can buy & sell drugs, or run into someone with mental issues. Just last winter I was crossing Garland & Essex late one night when my friend said Hi to some people on a porch, next thing we knew this guy was yelling at us. He ran across the street and started yelling profanity at us and making threats. I tried to calm him down and talk about why he was upset but he kept pushing me away from my friend. Another one of the "yelling mans" friends ran across the st and pushed my friend to the ground. All the while the yelling guy was pushing me over and over again. I tried to walk away but he followed me up Essex St. and each time Id turn around he was either chasing me or pushing me. Finally he pushed me down into the street when a car was turning a corner. I got out of the way in time but this was freaky. The psycho guy left me alone and my friend caught up to me. Come to find out the punk that kept pushing me was some psycho that lives on the corner of Garland & Essex where the police visit there just about every single day. I've seen and heard about a lot of crazy violent stuff going on on Essex St (people are calling it the new Ohio St). A girl I knew said that she was crossing Essex while coming down Garland with her car and some people were standing in the middle of the intersection and wouldn't let her cross. When she honked her horn they ran up and punched the hood of her car and spit on her driver side window. She said that two of them wasn't even kids and looked like they could be well over 40 years old. It doesn't surprise me that someone got pushed off a balcony on Essex St. in Bangor. Gosh there are tons of alcoholics & drug abusers on that St. And LOTS of places to buy alcohol, for example Judy's Bar is on the Corner of Essex & State, you've got The Big Apple on St. just off essex, Fosters on the corner of Pine & St right next to Essex, and a corner store on Grove St. just the other side of Essex, not to mention Garland St. Market 1 short block from Essex Street. Essex St is also where that female nurse Mrs. McCann (forget spelling) lived that got fired from the Maine Veterans Home back in the 1990s after she hacked into their computer system. Even back then it was a shady street and now it's getting worse.
