Old Town police arrest Bangor man for driving without license

Old Town police arrested a Bangor man driving without a license Monday morning.

Just before 8 a.m., Officer Stephen Boyd was at the intersection of Main and Center streets when he saw a green Saturn pass by him on Center. The car’s license plate had expired in August of last year.

Boyd pulled the Saturn over. He said the driver, Robert Roulhac, 64, of Bangor, admitted that he knew his plates had expired.

A license check showed that Roulhac had no driver’s license in Maine, and a suspended one in New York. Boyd arrested Roulhac for operating without a license, and also charged him with a registration violation.

Sgt. Mike Hashey noted that Roulhac was going to be arraigned for a previous operating without license charge that same morning.

A police officer settled a dispute Monday afternoon in Old Town.

At about 2:30 p.m., Officer Stephen Boyd learned that a car was following a pickup truck up Center Street, and that the man driving the pickup allegedly had threatened the other driver with a baseball bat.

Boyd stopped the vehicles. The dispute evidently started when one vehicle cut the other off on interstate 95. The two had driven to Milford and were on their way out of town again when Boyd stopped them, he said.

Boyd did not find a baseball bat in the truck, he said. He had the men work out their differences, face to face.

Boyd said the men shook hands and then went their separate ways.
