AUGUSTA, Maine — A man angered that he didn't qualify for assistance took his revenge, slamming a cup on the counter of a municipal office and releasing an estimated 100 bed bugs, reports say.
The man's response on Friday forced officials to close the Augusta City Center for the day as exterminators were called in to kill the bed bugs, the Kennebec Journal reported.
According to the Journal, the man had been to the city offices earlier Friday to complain about his living situation. He had been told by a manager at a new apartment building he could not live there, so the man had come to the city offices seeking assistance.
