Four people were taken to the hospital after a pickup truck broadsided a car on Miller Hill on Route 2 in Hermon on Wednesday afternoon.

Adam Blakeway, 13, of Hermon and Larry Violette, 21, of Orland were being evaluated at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor late Wednesday night, while Andrea Blakeway, 33, the mother of Adam, and her daughter Sarah Blakeway were treated at the Bangor hospital and subsequently released, a nursing supervisor said.

Violette was crossing Route 2 from the Annis Road onto the Klatt Road at 4:25 p.m. and failed to stop at the stop sign, reported Penobscot County Sheriff’s Deputy Doug Smith. Violette’s pickup truck broadsided Blakeway’s Dodge Neon, and both ended up on a lawn across the street.

Violette’s pickup truck spun around 180 degrees, took out a guy wire near a utility pole and then caught on fire, Smith said.

Violette will be charged with failure to stop for a stop sign, Smith said.

A 35-year-old Bangor man remained in Penobscot County Jail on Wednesday after appearing in 1st District Court on charges of eluding a police officer, drunken driving and operating after his driver’s license was suspended. According to Maine Department of Motor Vehicles records, he has been convicted of eight violations and had his license suspended nine times in the past 11 years.

Wayne L. Quimby allegedly led police on a high-speed chase early Wednesday morning through Bangor’s east side. His speed reportedly reached 80 mph shortly before Quimby stopped his vehicle on Essex Street, a few yards past Grandview Avenue.

Officers Stephen Jordan and Brian Nichols were parked at the Schoolhouse Apartments on Harlow Street at about 1:25 a.m. when they reportedly observed Quimby make an unusually wide left turn onto Harlow Street from Franklin Street. The officers pulled out behind him and followed him from Spring Street to Newton Street to Cumberland Street before he turned left onto French Street and drove toward Broadway Park.

Quimby reportedly turned right onto South Park Street, crossed Broadway and turned left again on Pine Street. Officers followed him onto Stillwater Avenue, then he turned left on Essex Street. Police reported that his speed reached 80 mph shortly before he pulled to the side of the road and stopped.

After he got out of the car, Nichols tried to handcuff him, but he resisted and the officer pushed him into the snow, according to the police report. Officer Brent Beaulieu arrived to back up the other officers and transported Quimby to jail. During the short ride, the suspect reportedly said that he was from TV’s “Inside Edition” and was videotaping officers. Quimby appeared to be intoxicated, officers reported, but refused to take an Intoxilyzer test.

Bail was set Wednesday afternoon at $5,000 cash or $50,000 surety.

A Bangor woman told police Sunday that her husband wielded a section of stairway railing the size of a two-by-four with nails in it as he pushed and shoved her.

The Grove Street woman also reported that her husband, William Fay, 28, put his hands around her neck and later prevented her from calling the police from their apartment, telling her he’d kill her if she called the police.

Fay was charged with obstructing the report of a crime and also will face a charge of domestic assault, according to the police report.

Called to 97 Grove St. at 2 p.m. Sunday, Officer Dan Herrick found that Fay already had driven off, while his wife remained behind, upset and crying on the front porch. The 27-year-old woman had scratches across her nose and by her eyes, and her ring finger had been cut, according to the police report.

She let Herrick inside the apartment where he saw extensive damage, and he noticed there were ornaments and broken glass on the floor.

Fay’s wife of three years said Fay broke the stair railing and began breaking other things and hitting the walls in the hallway. When she came out into the hallway, Fay was there with the piece of railing in his hands, she said.

She said he began shoving her and pushing her head against a wall and that she may have cut her ring finger as she tried to defend herself. When she tried to call the police, Fay threw the phone over the fence into the neighbor’s yard.

Fay called three times while Herrick was there and returned to the apartment at the officer’s request. Fay denied pushing or shoving his wife and showed the officer a scratch on his face that he said came from his wife.
