Bangor assault case going to trial, attorney says

Source: Bangor Daily News

BANGOR, Maine — In the transcript of the 911 call made to police by a 27-year-old black man late on a Friday night in November, he says that an unknown man attacked him near downtown and kept telling him, “Trump is going to deport you.”

Joshua Pendergast, 42, of Bangor was charged Nov. 21 with misdemeanor assault for his role in the incident that occurred three days prior. On Wednesday, Pendergast entered a not guilty plea and asked for a jury trial, according to his Bangor attorney Christopher Largay.

“We entered a waiver of entry of appearance and a not guilty plea,” Largay said in a text message.

The filings were both done via paperwork, the message said, “so neither the client nor counsel needed to appear in court today.”
