BUCKSPORT — A local man is facing numerous felony charges after police said he threatened to use a bomb at his residence on Wednesday.

No one was injured.

After a lengthy negotiation, authorities took the man, William Benjamin, 57, into custody and charged him with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, which is a felony, according to a press release issued by the Bucksport Police Department on Thursday.

District Attorney Matt Foster said Benjamin faces additional charges of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, terrorizing with a dangerous weapon and criminal use of explosives. Those are felonies. Benjamin also was charged with a misdemeanor count of creating a police standoff.

No one was injured.

Police were alerted to the situation after getting a call from a local medical facility that the man was threatening to use “an explosive device” at his Route 1 residence, police said.

Officers responded and evacuated several businesses and residences.

Police were able to speak with a woman at Benjamin’s home who advised that the man had discharged a firearm inside the residence. Officers were able to get the woman out of the home, but the man remained inside threatening to detonate an explosive device, police said.

The negotiations took several hours and involved the Maine State Police and the state police tactical team.

Meanwhile, authorities shut down Route 1 between Route 46 and Nicholson Avenue from just before 2 until 9:19 p.m.
