A Belfast man was arrested Wednesday at Bangor International Airport for disorderly conduct and for failing to appear in court in connection with a 1990 OUI charge.
Robert Heald, 65, of Belfast was approached by Officer Michael Kenny of the Bangor Police Department after airport security reported he had been belligerent to others, according to Kenny’s report. Kenny stated he asked Heald, who appeared intoxicated, to quiet down after watching him loudly ask people if they were “going to Detroit.”
Kenny asked to see Heald’s driver’s license. Bangor dispatch informed Kenny that a warrant for Heald’s arrest for failing to appear in court had been issued in Franklin County. The officer put Heald’s identification in his pocket, and Heald yelled obscenities at him. Heald then said he was going outside to have a cigarette.
Heald staggered to the exit, where a woman with a young girl entered, and he then stopped and patted the girl on the head, and asked her if she was “flying out” today, according to Kenny. The officer grabbed Heald’s wrist and placed him under arrest.
Kenny and Officer Butch Moor escorted Heald out of the airport. Moor transported Heald to Penobscot County Jail. Bail was set at $1,000.
An estimated $2,000 worth of damage was done to a telephone pole Tuesday in Bangor when two vehicles collided at the intersection of Cumberland Street and Broadway.
Sondra Shane, 40, of Dedham was driving her 2002 Jeep SUV south on Broadway when her vehicle was struck in the side by a 1999 Dodge van being driven by Nancy Torrensen, 44, of Bangor. Torrensen was driving east on Cumberland Street.
Upon impact, Shane’s vehicle spun 180 degrees. Torrensen’s vehicle rolled over and struck the telephone pole.
Both drivers claimed they had a green light. Officer James Dearing of the Bangor Police Department was within sight of the accident. According to his report, the traffic light was disabled instantly when Torrenson’s vehicle hit the pole.
Both vehicles were traveling at an estimated 25 to 30 mph, according to Dearing. Dearing said in his report that Shane’s vehicle left a 31-foot skid mark that appeared to show the Jeep veering away from the collision.
No charges were filed.
