The accident occurred just after noon.

After pinning Walter Brown for a moment, the truck dislodged and continued moving forward, striking a tree, state police Trooper Scott Hamilton said Sunday.

Foltz was found in possession of marijuana and beer and arrested for violating conditions of her release, police said. She was taken to Penobscot County Jail, where she remained Sunday.

She is scheduled to appear in 3rd District Court in Bangor on Feb. 15.

A search of the room discovered a small amount of cocaine, police said.

Pelkey was arrested on a charge of possession of a Schedule W drug and for violating conditions of his release. He was taken to Penobscot County Jail, where he remained Sunday afternoon. He is scheduled to appear in 3rd District Court in Bangor on March 15.
