Someone reportedly stole a bottle of Vicodin and a cocker spaniel from a Bangor man’s apartment Saturday night.

A Union Street resident called Bangor police at 2:30 a.m. Sunday when he awoke to find his dog Golden Bear missing, along with medication he had left on the coffee table.

The man and his girlfriend, who was asleep on the couch, had been asleep for about eight hours, Bangor police Officer Shawn Green reported.

Goldie, according to her owner, is a very friendly dog and is used to being walked by the owner’s friends and would not have barked if a stranger took her. She was wearing a chainlike collar and has a black canvas leash.

Bangor police summoned two men for cocaine possession Friday evening on the waterfront.

Officers Shawn Green and Kerry Libby were on bike patrol when they noticed two men in a black Saab exchanging a small folded piece of white paper.

When Green approached the passenger’s side of the car, the driver, Randolph Anderson of Brewer, reportedly yelled, “Cop.” The passenger, Lawrence Napoleone of Glenburn, who was holding the paper, dropped it to the floor.

Green noticed white powder fall out of the paper. Napoleone, 49, denied that it was cocaine. Green tested the substance and determined that it was cocaine, a Schedule W drug.

The officer found more white powder in a green envelope, which also contained a letter addressed to Anderson.

Green issued a summons to Napoleone and Anderson for possession of a Schedule W drug.

A rag soaked in grease was ignited in a parked car Friday, causing a smoldering fire to erupt in the vehicle.

Bangor police Officer Wade Betters went to Fourteenth Street at 5:44 p.m. to assist the Bangor Fire Department with the incident. Betters found the fire extinguished and the owner, a Bangor man, unharmed.

The vehicle’s owner said a rag was partially under the driver’s side floor mat. He had used it earlier to wipe his hands, which were covered in grease from working on his car.

A man apparently coming from Allen’s Salon on Fourteenth Street alerted the driver and his girlfriend to the fire. Neither the driver nor the complainant is suspected in setting the fire.

Police believe someone passing by could have ignited the rag during the hour the car was parked. No cigarette butts were found in the car, and there was only minimal damage.

The case is closed pending further investigation.
