LIMESTONE – An Easton man faces two court dates after he left the scene of an accident in Limestone and was picked up by police on an OUI charge in Fort Fairfield, according to law enforcement officials.

Shaun Spiers, 25, of Easton was arrested on Tuesday night and charged with operating under the influence and operating after suspension by the Fort Fairfield Police Department, Sgt. Jim Chartier of Fort Fairfield said on Wednesday.

Spiers also was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, failure to display a current valid inspection sticker and failure to produce evidence of insurance by the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Department, Deputy Ezekiel Collins, said Thursday.

The Sheriff’s Department received a report from a woman they would not identify about a hit and run in Limestone at about 6 p.m., Collins said.

A woman claimed that while in her yard she had seen a green Pontiac Sunbird speeding along the Mill Road in Limestone and somehow conveyed to the driver that he should drive more carefully. Collins said the driver responded by doing several power turns on the roadway and then heading toward downtown Limestone. The woman pursued the vehicle by car and said she located it at a local gas station on Route 1A, the deputy said.

When she confronted the driver, who appeared intoxicated, he and his unidentified male passenger said she was mistaking them for someone else. When Spiers backed up his car to leave, police said, he accidentally bumped the woman’s car, Collins said.

She then said they shouldn’t be driving because they were drunk and stated that she was going to call the police, the deputy said.

The men left the gas station, and the woman called the police, who put out a bulletin on the car.

The Fort Fairfield Police Department received calls from the Caribou Police Department and the Maine State Police to watch out for a 1998 Pontiac Sunbird involved in a hit and run in Limestone. Chartier located the vehicle traveling on Route 1A toward Fort Fairfield.

Chartier said he arrested Spiers without incident. Spiers made his $500 bail at Fort Fairfield police.

The sergeant said police are not identifying Spiers’ passenger because he was not involved in the charges.

Officials from the U.S. Border Patrol assisted Fort Fairfield police and the Sheriff’s Department.

Law enforcement officials said that because the damage from the Limestone accident was under $100, the incident would have been nonreportable if the driver had “stuck around” and had not been drunk.

Spiers will appear in Presque Isle District Court for his Fort Fairfield charges on Aug. 3. He will appear in Caribou District Court on his Sheriff’s Department charges in mid-July.
