A 14-year-old boy led Bangor police on a foot chase that ended after a police dog tracked him to his hiding spot, inside a sports utility vehicle parked in a driveway Thursday night.
The teen-ager, whose name was not being released because he is a juvenile, was wanted for leaving the Broadway Shop ‘n Save with a bottle of alcohol that he hadn’t paid for, police said. Officer Chris Blanchard spotted the teen-ager near the Rite Aid pharmacy throwing a bottle under a bush. The youth saw the officer and ran off, crossing Broadway and by an apartment complex on Husson Avenue.
An off-duty police officer saw the youth by the Bangor Gardens apartments and Officer Robert Hutchings and K-9 Rex picked up the track there, one that led to the driveway at 17 Bragg St. and a maroon SUV with the youth inside.
The youth was charged with theft, possession of alcohol by a minor, failure to submit to arrest and burglary to a motor vehicle.
A Bangor woman told police that her ex-husband slapped her Thursday night after she confronted him about returning their two sons late.
The woman told Bangor police Officer Allen Woolley that when her kids didn’t return at 7 p.m., she waited awhile and then called her ex-husband and found that the children were still with him. She and ex-husband Shane Leighton, 30, argued and she said that the conversation turned to her getting married again and that she told him she was getting married whether he liked it or not.
“Not unless I kill you first,” she said Leighton told her, according to the police report.
The woman said that he returned their two children about 7:30 p.m., leaving the kids in the car while they spoke in the house. She said she confronted him about being late and he became angry and slapped her on the left cheek. Woolley noted that he could see a slight bruise forming on the woman’s left check, below the eye.
Woolley located Leighton at a Birch Street residence shortly before 1 a.m. Friday. Leighton denied slapping her, saying that he hadn’t touched her. Woolley arrested Leighton, charging him with domestic assault.
A man on Sixth Street in Old Town called police Friday morning to report finding something suspicious on his lawn. The object stuck in the ground was tubular with fins on one end.
Officer Thomas Adams investigated and determined that the object was in fact a wayward rocket, launched from the Leonard Middle School along with other rockets.
