Portland, Maine

Portland Police say six people were arrested Friday night after disturbances at two Fore Street hotels.

Police responded at 9:00 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 23, 2026, to the Residence Inn at 145 Fore Street and the AC Hotel at 168 Fore Street for reports of disturbances. Police said there was initially a small crowd that was not causing issues, but by approximately 10:20 p.m., a crowd estimated at about 40 people arrived together and began blowing whistles, banging on drums, and causing disturbances. The noise was reported as disruptive to hotel guests and others in the area.

Police said the group was repeatedly told to disperse and was warned that individuals could be charged with Disorderly Conduct. Just before 11:00 p.m., police said several people refused to comply and were arrested, charged with Disorderly Conduct, and transported to the Cumberland County Jail.

Those arrested were identified as:

• Andrew Mantenieks, 25, of East Orland

• Samuel Pecor, 30, of Biddeford

• Amelia Fleming, 26, of Nobleboro

• Meghan Morrison, 28, of Portland

• Savanah Roberge, 19, of Somersworth, New Hampshire

• John Clark, 30, of Windham

Portland Police thanked the South Portland Police Department for assisting.

Police also noted a previous protest held Thursday night at the Residence Inn resulted in one criminal summons. Earlier Friday evening, police facilitated a separate protest that began in Monument Square, proceeded to Longfellow Square, and returned to Monument Square, concluding at approximately 7:00 p.m.
