ME Man Accused Of College Threats Converted Violin Case To Fit High-Powered Gun Out Of Custody After Posting $1K Bond

BATH, ME. (THECOUNT) — Darren Lilly has been identified as the Bowdoinham, Maine man charged with terrorizing after allegedly making threats against Central Maine Community College in Auburn, according to the Sagadahoc County Sheriff Department.

Lilly, 23, was arrested Monday at 5:30 p.m. at his Feldspar Lane home and charged with terrorizing, a Class C felony punishable by up to five years incarceration and a $5,000 fine, according to a press release.

Lilly was later released after posting a $1,000 conditional bond with “strict” restrictions from him possessing firearms as well as barring him from Auburn. Deputies say they seized several weapons, including one that had been fashioned to fit in a stringed musical instrument case.

“We have been in contact with the Auburn Police Department and Central Maine Community College Administration,” Sagadahoc County Sheriff Joel Merry stated in the release. “”Our agency has notified the Sagadahoc County District Attorney’s Office and we have been consulting with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms because one of the weapons, a sawed off shotgun, may be illegal to possess.”
