This way and that way ORONO – He might not have known if he was coming or going, but an Enfield man who was allegedly driving under the influence went to jail after his blood alcohol content was found to be more than twice the legal limit Thursday evening. On Aug. 28 around 9:22 p.m., a caller reported an erratic vehicle that was allegedly weaving all over the road and hitting curbs on both sides of the street. The caller gave police a description of the car and Officer Ed Leskley went to investigate. He saw a car matching the caller’s description parked on the side of the road near the Penobscot Valley Country Club. Leskey turned his cruiser around to pull in behind the vehicle, only to find that the driver had made a u-turn and was heading toward Veazie. The officer turned around again and stopped the vehicle in Veazie, near the Veazie Veterinary Clinic. He spoke to the driver, later identified as Earl Jones, 54, of Enfield, and noticed the smell of alcohol. Leskey asked Jones for his license, registration and proof of insurance. At first, Jones only gestured to a pile of papers in the passenger seat and mumbled something, according to police. While looking for his license, Jones reportedly took out his credit card three times before he found his license and insurance card. When the officer asked him where he was coming from, Jones initially said Augusta, then changed his response to Portland, then back to Augusta, according to police. Leskey attempted to administer field sobriety tests, and Jones had difficulty maintaining his balance and following directions. After Jones fell into the roadway, Leskey determined that it wasn’t safe for Jones to attempt the tests and arrested him on suspicion of OUI. He was taken to the Orono Police Station for an Intoxilyzer test which showed his blood alcohol content to be 0.22 percent. He was escorted to Penobscot County Jail. Off-duty trooper calls in OUI BEDDINGTON – A vigilant off-duty state trooper called in an erratic vehicle on Aug. 22. Tpr. David Barnard was driving his own vehicle east on Route 9 when he saw a car that was “all over the road” and traveling at speeds approaching 95 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone. Troopers Jason Fowler and Cliff Peterson were dispatched and were able to stop the car near the Airline Snack Bar. Fowler arrested the driver, Nathaniel Meyers, 25, of Lubec, for operating under the influence after he did not pass the field sobriety tests to the officer’s satisfaction. He was also charged with criminal speeding for driving more than 30 mph over the posted speed limit. The passenger, Jennifer Folsom, 21, no listed address, was arrested for possession of schedule W drugs, after troopers located a prescription belonging to another person in her possession. Meyers was escorted to Hancock County Jail and Folsom was transported to Maine Coast Memorial Hospital for evaluation, because she was reportedly under the influence of drugs and pregnant. Objects in mirror are CLOSER than they appear BANGOR – A Rockland man might want to thank his lucky stars that he didn’t end up with more than a night in jail after backing into gas pumps before being arrested for OUI. Officer Steve Pelletier was on patrol on State Street on Aug. 31 around 1:09 a.m. when he heard what sounded like an accident. He investigated and found that George Stanley, 58, of Rockland, had backed his vehicle into a gas pump, damaging his taillight and leaving the gas pump apparently undamaged, according to police. Stanley reportedly told the officer he’d had two beers. Pelletier administered a field sobriety test and was arrested for operating under the influence. He was taken to the Bangor Police Department for an Intoxilizer test where his blood alcohol content was found to be 0.12 percent. He was transported to Penobscot County Jail. What can? Oh, that can ORONO – A Bangor man was summoned on an alcohol violation after an officer spotted him walking down the street with an open container. Officer Derek Dinsmore was on patrol on Aug. 31 around 12:30 a.m., when he saw a group of  men walking towards North Main Street and one man, later identified as Kyle Leeman, 20, of Bangor, reportedly holding what appeared to be a silver beer can. As Dinsmore approached, he observed Leeman drop the can behind a concrete barrier on the side of the road. When the officer asked him to retrieve the can, Leeman denied dropping it. Dinsmore informed Leeman that if he had to pick up the can for him he’d also be cited for littering, at which point Leeman retrieved the beer can. Leeman was summoned for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor and also warned about drinking in public. The Keymaster OLD TOWN -  A man with a master key may have allegedly helped himself to some of his neighbors' belongings. Police met with the management of the Penobscot Riverhouse because they had received complaints of people missing items, including a large metal vise and an air conditioner. A tenant told police that she had been locked out of her apartment and another resident had been able to use his key to let her back in. Police found this to be suspicious and spoke with the resident. Sgt. Michael Hashey spoke to the man, later identified as Boyd Loucks, 23, of Old Town, and obtained a consent search of the apartment. When Hashey walked in, he saw an air conditioner that reportedly matched the description of the one reported missing, and found the large metal vise in the closet. Hashey discovered that Loucks had obtained a master key that worked in all the doors in the building. Loucks was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property.
