Bangor police arrested a local man Sunday night after his truck allegedly rear-ended another vehicle.

Officer Steve Jordan reported that at about 8:30 p.m. he and Officer Mike Jewett went to the intersection of Union Street and Griffin Road for a traffic accident.

Jordan said there were no injuries or visible property damage. However, as he spoke with driver Joseph Arbour of Bangor, Jordan noticed a smell of alcohol. Jordan said Arbour also had glassy eyes and slurred speech.

Jordan said Arbour denied twice that he was drunk. He did admit he had had three drinks after a long day of installing siding, Jordan said. After administering sobriety tests, Jordan arrested Arbour and charged him with operating under the influence.

Jordan said Officer Jewett found an opened bottle of malt beverage in Arbour’s truck.
