A hit-and-run accident resulted in the arrest of two individuals Monday in Brewer. John Charpentier, 38, of Orrington backed into a sport utility vehicle behind him at a stop sign, then drove off, police said.

After Brewer police caught up with Charpentier, officers smelled alcohol on his breath and gave him a field sobriety test. Charpentier was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants and driving without a license.

A passenger in the car, Toni Anderson, 26, of Brewer, was uncooperative with officers and refused to show her hands, Brewer police Sgt. David Lord reported. Officers handcuffed Anderson and put her in a cruiser where she kicked at the window. She was arrested, charged with disorderly conduct and had her feet restrained.

Two Bangor men went to Ecuador on a two-week medical mission recently and reported to Bangor police on Tuesday that their debit card was stolen and used there. About $500 was spent on the card, mostly at gas stations. Bangor police Officer George Spencer recommended suspending the case “unless I can travel to Ecuador to follow up on [it].”

A Carmel woman visiting friends on Curve Street in Bangor left the keys in her car and about 3 a.m. Wednesday heard her car leave without her. She reported the car stolen and about three hours later, Bangor police Officer Paul Colley found the car in a parking lot on Second Street. There was no sign of damage and no sign of the keys, according to the report.

A Bangor man was charged Sunday night with operating a motor vehicle after suspension for the seventh time in 10 years when police noticed license plates on the front and back of his vehicle didn’t match, reports said.

Bangor Officer Edward A. Mercier stopped a 1987 Ford pickup about 10 p.m. on Broadway after learning the rear tags were registered to a different vehicle. The driver, identified as Gary Dube, 33, failed to produce a driver’s license. Mercier reported that computer checks revealed that his license was suspended and the front plates also were suspended for insurance reasons.

Dube was arrested and also charged with illegally attached plates for the rear plate and operating after suspended registration for the front plate.
