PORTLAND — A Portland man was arrested Saturday after allegedly making threats and constructing a bomb, police said.
Daryl Walsh, 39, was taken into custody around 5:30 p.m. on June 29, 2024, after crisis negotiators convinced him to exit his apartment at 22 Runnels Street.
He faces charges of terrorizing, criminal use of explosives and violation of a protection order.
The Portland Police Department’s Special Reaction Team, Crisis Negotiators and Hazardous Device Unit executed a high-risk search warrant with assistance from the Maine State Police Tactical Team.
Earlier that day, police were alerted that Walsh had threatened a former domestic partner and a member of the judiciary.
Authorities were informed he was armed and constructing a bomb.
Investigators obtained a search warrant, leading to the discovery of evidence supporting these concerns.
Walsh is being held at the Cumberland County Jail.
