Former Augusta man sentenced for threatening man with knife

AUGUSTA (WGME) -- A former Augusta man who threatened to kill a maintenance employee in his apartment building with a knife has been sentenced. However, he is expected to be released soon.

According to the Kennebec Journal, police arrested Paul Fay III in 2021 after Fay chased the victim with a knife at the former Edwards Inn on Water Street.
