Old Town police summoned a 12-year-old boy after a neighbor allegedly saw him break into a carwash Thursday evening.

Officer Bobby Pelletier reported that at about 8 p.m., he and Officer Chris Foxworthy went to the Appearance Plus carwash on Stillwater Avenue and spoke with a neighbor who said he saw a boy pry open a window and then crawl into and out of the business. The neighbor told the officers where the boy was, and they found him in the parking lot of Governor’s restaurant.

The boy admitted prying the window open, Pelletier said, but did not admit entering the business. The owner came and found that nothing inside had been disturbed. Pelletier charged the boy with criminal trespass and criminal mischief.

A Bangor man was charged Thursday afternoon with possession of a bag of pills for which he insisted he had a prescription.

Bangor police Officer Dennis Townsend reported that at about 5:15 p.m. he was on bicycle patrol at Pickering Square and interviewed two men sitting on a bench. Townsend said that while the department checked out one man’s identification, the man kept putting his hand in his left pocket and taking it out.

Townsend noticed a bulge in that pocket, he said, and asked the man what he had. The man, Ryan Rideout, 22, of Bangor first took out some change but eventually withdrew a bag containing about a dozen Seroquel pills. He told Townsend that he didn’t carry the pills in their prescription bottle because it was uncomfortable and insisted that he had a prescription.

Townsend said that he summoned Rideout for possession of Schedule Z drugs. Seroquel is a sleep aid and central nervous system depressant, which Townsend noted is commonly abused.

Bangor police arrested a man allegedly driving while drunk and without a license early Friday.

Officer Wade Betters reported that at about half past midnight he was driving behind a car on Fifth Street when the car started to drift to the right and the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Betters said the rear wheels locked up, “smoke rolled” up from the pavement, and there was a loud screeching sound. The car’s right wheels then rolled up onto the curb until the driver jerked it back onto the road, where it stopped suddenly.

The driver and passenger got out of the car. Betters said that when he asked the driver, Michael Toole, 43, of Bangor about his driving, Toole responded, “I stopped.”

Toole had glassy, bloodshot eyes, and his breath smelled of alcohol. Betters said Toole told him he had just left a nearby bar and was driving his female passenger home because she was unsafe to drive. He apologized for his driving, Betters said and again explained that he was just trying to get his passenger home safe.

Toole admitted drinking two beers and two sombreros. After Toole performed poorly on sobriety tests, Betters arrested him.

As Betters spoke with Toole’s passenger, Cynthia Saultes, 38, he noticed a “dark, leafy substance” in a bag in her purse. He said she initially denied having a bag at all but eventually surrendered the purse. She was summoned for possession of a usable amount of marijuana.

At the station, a test of Toole’s breath gave a blood alcohol content of 0.10 percent. Betters learned that Toole’s license had been suspended since 1998 on a previous OUI charge. Toole was charged with operating under the influence and operating after suspension. He was taken to Penobscot County Jail.

Betters said Toole’s skid mark was 35 feet long, and that the car traveled an additional 18 feet on the curb.
