On her way to District Court in Bangor Monday morning to deal with a charge of driving with a suspended license, a Bangor woman was arrested on the same charge and for drunken driving.

Nancy G. Nadeau, 44, was driving an unregistered blue Honda Civic and had stopped at the intersection of Hammond and Court streets shortly after 10 a.m., reported Officer Jason McAmbley, who was right behind her at the time. Nadeau turned left onto Hammond and pulled into a parking spot and McAmbley pulled in nearby.

McAmbley said he recognized Nadeau as the same woman he had arrested weeks earlier and whose license he had seized and returned to the state. Dispatch confirmed that Nadeau’s license was suspended and that she had a conditional license that prohibited her from drinking anything and driving. Nadeau denied drinking anything that morning and told the officer she was heading to court for the suspended license violation.

But McAmbley could smell alcohol coming from Nadeau and he noted that her eyes were glassy and that a field sobriety test also indicated impairment. Her blood alcohol content registered 0.08 percent on the Intoxilyzer test.

McAmbley charged Nadeau with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants, operating a motor vehicle after license suspension and operating an unregistered motor vehicle.

A Finson Road man told Bangor police that he returned home with his wife Sunday night and found his car missing from the driveway.

The white 1999 Kia Sephia, valued at $6,000, had been there at 5 p.m. when the man and his wife left their residence, but was gone when they returned about four hours later, reported Officer Wade Betters. The man said the doors were locked and there was no spare key. He also reported that the car contained $3,500 in stereo equipment.
