Bangor police arrested a local woman for drunken driving and other charges after a hit-and-run accident Friday morning.

Dacia Cayer, 27, of Bangor had allegedly been driving her black 1998 Ford Mustang and crashed it into an unattended black 1994 Pontiac Grand Am parked in front of 201 Center St. just before 5 a.m. Friday, Bangor police Officer Chad Foley said. Witnesses awoke to the sound of the crash and saw a dark-colored car with damage to its front passenger side leaving the area with its horn on.

The Grand Am was registered to Keith Wiggin, 44, of Levant, officials said. Police later found Cayer standing outside her Mustang in the upper parking lot between Spring and Cumberland streets with its horn on and hood up and damage to the front passenger side.

The woman told police that a friend of hers had been driving the car and crashed it, and that she had driven the car away from the accident scene, Bangor police Officer James Hassard said. She refused to name her friend. Police found an open beer bottle in the back seat of the car, but the woman denied drinking.

After failing field sobriety tests, additional tests found Cayer’s blood-alcohol level to be 0.28 percent, more than three times Maine’s legal adult limit of 0.08 percent, Bangor police Officer Brian Nichols said. Cayer was charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants, failure to report a motor vehicle accident by the quickest means possible, and failure to notify the owner of an unattended vehicle collision.

Damage to the Grand Am was estimated at $3,000. An estimate for damage to the Mustang was not available. Cayer will appear in 3rd District Court in Bangor on Dec. 23.

For the third time in recent months, a 15-year-old female at a home for teens in Stetson was charged with assault after attacking staff members.

The girl reportedly attacked two staff members after a disagreement about bedtime around 9 p.m. Wednesday, staff workers told police Thursday afternoon, Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Sean McCue said. The girl allegedly kicked a female staff member in the head twice, bit her leg and kicked a male staff member in the jaw, dug at him and spit in his face.

“This is a person that doesn’t like to abide by the rules,” McCue said. The girl was issued two summonses to appear in 3rd District Court in Newport on Jan. 22.

The girl will at that time face another charge of assault for an attack on a staff member Nov. 9, when she reportedly slapped a staff member in another bedtime disagreement, McCue said.

There was another assault incident in recent months involving the teen for which she will attend court for in the near future. No information was available on that alleged attack.

None of the people involved in the physical altercations were seriously injured or required hospitalization.

Damage to a car is expected to exceed $3,500 after it struck a 100-pound Rottweiler just before 7 p.m. Thursday.

Steven Farnham, 36, of Levant had been driving a 1995 Volkswagon Jetta on Route 222 in Levant when the dog leaped in front of his car, Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Sean McCue said. Farnham had been working on the car for a friend and was taking the vehicle out for a test drive. The car was registered to Robert Foshay of Vassalboro.

The dog had been staying with relatives of its owner and was supposed to have been kept in a kennel, McCue said. The dog, however, reportedly broke out of the kennel and ran into the road, where it was killed instantly upon impact. Both air bags in the car deployed, and the car received considerable front-end damage from the collision. The names of the dog’s owners or who it was staying with were not immediately available.
