On January 17, 2024, Toman Caudill, 31, pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition in U.S. District Court in Bangor.
According to court records, on September 2023, officers with the Bangor Police responded to a report that a male had fired a handgun in a residential area. A bystander directed officers to Caudill, and he was taken into custody when officers found a box of 9mm ammunition in his backpack.
