STANDISH — A man who threatened three teenage girls with a handgun and subsequently lost his right arm after being shot by Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office deputies, is under arrest for violating his conditions of probation.
Deputies arrested Douglas Tenczar, 43, of Sebago after a traffic stop on Route 113 at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Deputy Matt Thompson pulled over a 1996 GMC van driven by Matthew C. Cone of Freeport, recognized Tenczar as the passenger and noted that he appeared to be intoxicated.

Tenczar was charged with criminal threatening in a road rage incident involving the girls in 2008. When police went to his home in Sebago for further investigation, Tenczar was holding a shotgun inside the house and aiming it at officers when they knocked on his door. Sgt. David Hall and Deputy Stephen Welsch fired a total of five times, resulting in the loss of Tenczar’s right arm.
After pleading no contest to a misdemeanor count of displaying a dangerous weapon and entering a separate guilty plea to the felony charge of criminal threatening, Tenczar was sentenced to 30 days in jail in 2009. He was the expected to serve one year probation before being allowed to enter another no-contest plea, followed by one more year of probation.
On Wednesday, when Probation and Parole Officer Dave Edwards was notified of Tenczar’s intoxication, he ordered police to take him to Cumberland County Jail. Tenczar registered a .22 blood alcohol level, and was charged with violation of probation.
