AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — An Occupy Augusta protester has been charged with threatening to use a sledgehammer on another city resident at Capitol Park.

State police spokesman Steve McCausland says a 27-year-old Augusta man made the threat Thursday afternoon. McCausland says Capitol Police issued a summons for him at around noon Saturday.

The man was also given a trespass notice that prohibits him from being in Capitol Park, a state park near the State House.
