Kelley came to the Brewer Police Department in July of 2006 where she was hired as a Police Officer assigned to the Patrol Division. Prior to that Cpl. Kelley worked for the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office as a full time patrol Deputy. In 2008, she was assigned to replace Sgt. Feero as the Brewer High School Resource Officer. Officer Kelley served as the School Resource Officer for the Brewer High School until November of 2010 when she was assigned back to the Patrol Division. Since that time, Cpl. Kelley has been one of our most active criminal interdiction officers and continues to focus her efforts on the drug and crime issues impacting our community. Cpl. Kelley's promotion also has a significant historical distinction, as she is only the second female officer in this history of the Brewer Police Department to become a supervisor. The first was Cpl. Melissa 'Dixie' Cunningham.
Counselor charged with unlawful sexual touching
DYER BROOK Maine State Police have charged a Dyer Brook man with unlawful sexual touching of a woman he was counseling.
Troopers arrested John Walker, 65, at his home in Dyer Brook on April 5. Walker had met the 30-year-old woman at the Aroostook County Jail in Houlton where he had clergy visitation rights.
Walker may be affiliated with a small church in the area, but it is not clear if he was ever ordained. He was reportedly providing the "spiritual counseling," at his home where the unwanted advance took place. The woman reported the incident to State Police at the Houlton barracks, where the case is being investigated by Detective Mark Sperrey.
Walker is free on bail and will make his first appearance in Houlton District Court next month.
Non-smoking means don't smoke crack
BREWER A two area women were arrested last week for various drug-related charges after a hotel employee reported they were smoking illicit drugs in their rented room.
On April 6, around 11:38 a.m., Sgt. Anthony Pinette was dispatched to a Wilson Street hotel. A hotel employee called authorities when she saw a woman in one of the rooms smoking what she felt was crack, and the manager wanted the occupants removed from the premises.
Pinette spoke with the occupants, Krystal Bell, 27, of Bangor and Kimberly Oakley, 32, with no listed address, and as a result of the investigation arrested both.
Bell was charged with unlawful possession of synthetic hallucinogenic drugs, colloquially known as bath salts; illegal possession of schedule W drugs, and sale and use of drug paraphernalia. Oakley was charged with unlawful possession of a schedule Y drug for a valium pill that was located in her pocket and sale and use of drug paraphernalia. Oakley also had an active warrant for arrest. Both were taken to Penobscot County Jail.
