A Bangor couple was taken to Penobscot County Jail early Monday morning after the man resisted arrest while the woman escaped from a police cruiser, officials said.

Bangor police had been summoned to the couple’s Elm Street home after the man, Anthony Osnoe, 20, reported that his girlfriend was driving while drunk, said Officer Chris Desmond. When police arrived, however, they found the two arguing in front of the home.

Stacy Walters, 18, claimed she had been kicked out and was trying to leave when Osnoe broke the windshield of her car. Osnoe claimed he had only been trying to stop her from driving drunk, Desmond said. The officers gave each person a disorderly conduct warning.

Walters began saying obscenities after Desmond took her aside to ask if she wanted to leave or call someone to take her somewhere.

After several warnings, Walters was arrested for disorderly conduct and was being led to the cruiser when Osnoe asked where she was being taken, Desmond said. When told of Walters’ arrest, Osnoe became enraged and began yelling at Desmond, who then directed assisting Officer Allen Woolley to arrest Osnoe for disorderly conduct as well.

Osnoe attempted to charge Desmond when Walters was placed into the cruiser. Desmond used pepper spray in an attempt to subdue Osnoe, Woolley said. Osnoe was continuing to resist while on the ground when the officers heard the sound of breaking glass. They found Walters had slipped out of her handcuffs, kicked out the rear passenger window and escaped from the cruiser.

Desmond took the woman to the ground, retrieved his handcuffs and again arrested the woman, Desmond said. Osnoe was finally handcuffed and both were taken to Penobscot County Jail. Each was charged with disorderly conduct and refusal to submit to arrest, while Walters was also charged with escape. They were later released from jail on personal recognizance bail and will appear in 3rd District Court in Bangor on Sept. 30.

A University of Maine freshman was arrested after repeatedly attempting to enter an Orono home, thinking that it was his dorm, officials said Monday.

Troy Martin, 18, of Dover, N.H., was at the front door of a Grove Street home early Sunday morning when the woman who lived there saw him trying to swipe his credit card through her mailbox, Orono police Officer Scott Wilcox said. It was the same manner in which he would have swiped his student identification through a terminal at his dorm to gain entry.

When the woman turned on the front light, Martin ran to the rear of the home and again tried to enter, the officer said. The woman told the teen to leave and he ran through the back yard, but dropped his credit card.

Police identified Martin through the credit card and found him at the corner of College Avenue and Park Street with another credit card in his hand, Wilcox said. Martin was “unsteady on his feet” with “extremely slurred speech” and was summoned for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor and was given a warning for criminal trespass.

A Penobscot teen faces drug- and alcohol-related charges after Old Town police stopped the vehicle he had been driving shortly before 2 am. Saturday after its tires squealed and the vehicle went over a curb, officials said Monday.

Old Town police Officer Tom Adams stopped the pickup truck driven by Kyle Mercer, 18, and noticed the odor of marijuana, Old Town police Sgt. Travis Roy said. Upon further inspection, the officer noticed that the passenger, 19-year-old Abram Allard of Bucksport, had two 12-packs of beer on the floor between his legs.

The driver then admitted to the officer that he had a marijuana pipe hidden under the truck seat and a “nickel bag” of marijuana in a passenger door compartment, Roy said. Firecrackers were also confiscated from the truck.

An Intoxilyzer test found Mercer’s blood-alcohol level to be 0.04 percent. Mercer was summoned to appear in 3rd District Court for zero tolerance, illegal transportation of alcohol by a minor and illegal transportation of drugs. Allard was summoned for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor.

Bangor police have found suspects in a tire slashing on First Street early Monday morning, officials said.

The tire was valued at $50 and was punctured between 11 p.m. Sunday and 10 a.m. Monday, Bangor police Officer Paul Colley said. It was not immediately known if the act of vandalism was related to a number of other tire slashings recently reported in the area.
