Suspicious activity leads to arrest of man

Suspicious parking resulted in the arrest of a Dedham man in Brewer early Monday morning.

Brewer police Sgt. Christopher Martin said he and Cpl. Jason Moffitt noticed a white Pontiac parked with its engine running at a North Main Street business about 1:20 a.m.

Martin said a license check identified the car’s owner as 22-year-old Bret Savage, who has a history of “criminal involvement,” Martin said.

Martin and Moffitt began searching businesses in the area for a possible break-in. Martin said a man walked by Moffitt saying he came to pick up the Pontiac for Savage, who was waiting down the street.

The arrangement sounded suspicious, so the officers went to the end of Betton Street and found Savage in a white pickup.

They asked Savage to step out of the truck.

There was a large kitchen knife in the truck at Savage’s feet, Martin said, so the officers told Savage they were going to search him for their own safety.

They decided to handcuff him when he resisted. Martin said they found one two-way radio.

Savage was arrested for failure to submit to detention and violation of bail.

Bangor police arrested an Old Town man after he reportedly urinated in his chair at an establishment on Odlin Road Sunday night.

At 8:40 p.m. Sgt. Larry Webber responded to a “person wanted out” complaint from Russell’s Entertainment Complex.

Webber said the assistant manager pointed out two men he said were intoxicated. He said one of the men had urinated in his chair.

One man left as Webber approached. The other had a blank stare and said he hadn’t done anything wrong, Webber said.

After repeated warnings to leave, Webber arrested the man for criminal trespass. His Maine state identification card gave the name Alan Francis, age 39.

Bangor police found what appeared to be an open beer in the drink holder of a suspect Sunday night.

At about 9 p.m. Officer Steve Jordan noticed a vehicle speeding and weaving on Outer Hammond Street. He pulled it over near Target Industrial Circle.

Jordan said the driver, 29-year-old Pamela Shedd, appeared intoxicated and admitted having three beers earlier. She had a license with condition Q, making it invalid with any alcohol use.

Jordan said he skipped the walk test because Shedd was too unsteady on her feet to do it safely.

After arresting Shedd, Jordan said he found an opened can in her car drink holder. The contents of the can were cold, smelled like beer, and fizzed like beer when Jordan poured them on the ground.

Shedd was charged with operating under the influence and operating without a license.
