A Bangor man who reported to police on Saturday that two bicycles owned by his sons were stolen from Shaw’s supermarket on Main Street called police again Sunday after he saw a young man riding one of the bikes.

The man said he rode to Shaw’s on Saturday evening with his two sons, but when they came out of the store, two bikes were missing. He reported the bikes stolen.

Then on Sunday, the man saw a young man, identified as 19-year-old Justan Adams, riding what appeared to be the bike of one of his sons near the Shaw House.

Bangor police Officer Douglas Moore spoke to Adams and the father. Adams insisted that the bike was his, but he was charged with receiving stolen property and the bike was returned to its owner.

As Adams was signing his police summons, he told the man, “You better hope I don’t see you,” according to Moore’s police report.

A Howland man was arrested Saturday on multiple charges after leading a Maine State Police trooper on a chase through Brewer, Bangor and Veazie.

Trooper Dan Ryan noticed a speeding lime green motorcycle in Holden around 3:45 p.m. and pursued the vehicle.

The driver, Justin Neal, 25, finally pulled his 1998 Kawasaki to the side of the road after passing a one-cruiser roadblock set up by Veazie police on Route 2 near Silver’s Auto Parts. Ryan clocked Neal at 89 mph in a 45 mph zone at one point.

Neal was charged with attempting to elude an officer, attempting to pass a roadblock, driving to endanger, speeding more than 30 mph over the speed limit and operating without a motorcycle endorsement.

He was arrested and taken to Penobscot County Jail. He later was released on bail, jail officials said.

A Hampden man who was pulled over Saturday night on Odlin Road near Hermon for failing to dim his headlights while traveling was charged with operating under the influence.

Penobscot County Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Adams said Shawn Kenniston, 21, didn’t turn off his high beams for him or the car in front of him. Adams, who was heading toward Bangor, turned around to follow Kenniston, who didn’t pull his vehicle over for about a quarter of a mile, the deputy said.

Adams said that when he approached the vehicle, the odor of intoxicating beverages was strong. Kenniston failed the field sobriety tests and was taken to the Bangor Police Department where his blood alcohol level was 0.14 percent.
