A Bangor woman wanted to meet her former Milo boyfriend alone outside a Bangor shoe outlet Tuesday, but he showed up with the police in an attempt to curtail what he said was the woman’s continuing harassment.

Initially fleeing from police, 32-year-old Karen McInnis tied up traffic on Perry Road when she stood in the middle of the road and refused to yield. She resisted when a police officer tried to get her onto the side of the road, digging her fingernails into his arm, according to the police report.

McInnis was charged with obstructing a public way and refusing to submit to an arrest or detention.

It began when a 27-year-old Milo man contacted Bangor police to report that despite breaking up with McInnis more than a year ago, she still calls him and visits him at his office. Milo police already had issued a summons for McInnis for telephone harassment and had asked Bangor police to give her that summons on their behalf, as well as issue her a protection from harassment order.

The man told Officer Tim Cotton on Tuesday that McInnis showed up at his office with coffee and told him to meet her at the Saucony shoe outlet on the Perry Road for some reason. Cotton followed the man and reported that as they approached the Cole Land Transportation Museum, also on the Perry Road, they spotted McInnis’ gold Oldsmobile Alero.

As Cotton pulled in behind her car, McInnis jumped out and began yelling at her former boyfriend, according to the police report. Cotton told her to calm down, but she ran down the street yelling “No” and “I’m going home,” the officer reported. After running into a field, she returned to the street and stopped, along with traffic.

A Steuben man whose car rear-ended another vehicle was arrested in Bangor Monday night after police determined he was driving under the influence of depressants.

Michael Bills, 23, was behind another vehicle in the lane turning right from Stillwater Avenue onto Broadway about 8:10 p.m. when the light turned green. Bills drove forward hitting the other vehicle, according to the police report.

While speaking to Bills, Officer Chris Desmond noted that the motorist was swaying and that his eyes were glassy and his speech was slurred. Bills denied drinking anything but acknowledged that he had taken medication before being released from a drug treatment program at Acadia Hospital earlier in the day. Bills showed Desmond a Clonidine drug patch he was wearing.

During field sobriety tests, Bills swayed, lost his balance and almost fell down, Desmond reported.

Bills denied feeling the effects of any of the medications, although later when questioned by Officer Steve Jordan, a drug recognition expert, Bills said that some of the medications he had been given had “looped him out” at first.

An Intoxilyzer test registered 0.0 percent indicating no measurable levels of alcohol, but completing his investigation, Jordan concluded that Bills was under the influence of a central nervous system depressant and was unable to drive a motor vehicle safely.

A pickup truck trying to pass a turning sport utility vehicle rear-ended it instead, damaging both vehicles, but causing only minor injuries.

Both drivers were wearing their seat belts and declined to be taken to the hospital, according to police. A dog, apparently named Get Off the Couch, had been inside the pickup truck and showed no signs of injury.

Ellen Howell, 48, of Solon was turning left on State Street by Gagne Precast Concrete Products Inc. when Paul Stapleton, 73, of Dover-Foxcroft tried to pass her and struck her, reported Officer Dan Worcester. The impact damaged the rear quarter of Howell’s 1988 Ford Bronco II and shattered the back window. Stapleton’s Ford F-150 pickup truck was heavily damaged on the driver side front quarter.

Damage to each of the vehicles was estimated at $4,000.

A 21-year-old Veazie man suspected of forging his father’s name on checks and pawning some of his father’s tools was arrested by police late last week.

Jeremy M. Dunn faces charges of theft and forgery after his arrest on a warrant Friday. Dunn is alleged to have forged $155 in checks, although his father was expected to turn over more checks from March that would put the total well over $2,000, according to the police report.

According to the police report, the father had found a piece of paper where his son had been practicing forging his father’s name.

The father told Detective Andrew Whitehouse that he had sought help for his son who is addicted to OxyContin and heroin, but that Dunn had refused and tensions were mounting in the household. Police were called to the home on at least two occasions in recent weeks, including on Aug. 22 when police received a report of the 21-year-old Dunn “flipping out.”

The father reported that he paid $80 to a Brewer pawnbroker to get back a pneumatic nail gun his son had taken and sold. Also missing is a saw that the father suspects was stolen.

Veazie police say that a 22-year-old Bangor woman used checks from an account closed two years ago to get cash and pay for groceries.

Kelly A. Prince is being charged with violation of probation and negotiating a worthless instrument after passing several checks at the R& J Pizza Mart. On one day she came in three times during a six-hour period to cash checks, according to Veazie Detective Andrew Whitehouse.

The checks amounted to $402.97, including one for $119 where a clerk said Prince paid for $19 in groceries and sought an additional $100 in cash in return.

Prince’s mother paid the store back the money that was owed, according to the report.
