Police in Fort Kent, Caribou seek aid

Fort Kent Police Chief Kenneth Michaud said his department is looking for information involving vandalism at the Fort Kent Golf Course.

More than $1,000 in damage was done to an area around the ninth green. A truck entered the golf course from Glendale Siding, off Route 161 – the St. John Road – and drove through a newly seeded area, causing deep ruts that tore up a loamed-over area.

The incident was reported Friday by golf course officials, Michaud said.

“I’m hoping someone has information about the incident,” Michaud said.

In Caribou, police are looking for the identity of a woman who cashed a check that did not belong to her.

Police said they have photos of a woman who cashed a check for $450 at the County Federal Credit at Caribou during the middle of the week. The check was stolen from another woman’s purse earlier in the day.

Police have side and frontal views of the woman, from security cameras, as she was cashing the check.

Police in Madawaska are continuing their investigations of two personal injury accidents that occurred on Friday on Route 1 south of town and on Mill Street near Fraser Papers Inc.

Police Chief Ronald Pelletier said Darrell Bosse, 56, of St. Agatha was struck by a vehicle while he was crossing Mill Street to go to work at the paper mill.

Bosse was treated at Northern Maine Medical Center in Fort Kent and then released. The incident happened at about 5:30 a.m.

In another accident that happened at about 10:35 a.m., Azilda Learnard, 88, of Grand Isle was taken to NMMC after she lost control of her northbound car on U.S. Route 1, just south of town.

Pelletier said Learnard’s vehicle went off the pavement, drifted into a ditch and rolled over onto its side.
