Police arrested James Sam, 34, of Caribou, Bobby Nightingale, 36, of Presque Isle, and Morgann Towle, 19, of Fort Fairfield, subsequently charging them with class A kidnapping and robbery, class B aggravated assault, and class D theft.
Gahagan wrote that police also charged Sam with violation of bail, and that, due to multiple prior convictions, his theft charge was elevated to a class C felony.
Police impounded Towle’s vehicle following the incident to collect evidence of the crime.
