Man facing drug charge arrested again in Orono

One of four men arrested last December on cocaine-related charges in Holden is facing more legal trouble.

Eric Cammack, 26, of Holden was charged two months ago with possession of cocaine after agents raided an Eastern Avenue home.

Cammack was arrested again shortly after 6 p.m. Monday after Orono police answered a report of a trash truck on its side.

When they arrived, police found that a trash truck had tipped over on the front lawn of the Lakeview Motel when the trailer was raised to be dumped.

“The operator was Eric Cammack,” Orono police Sgt. Josh Ewing said Tuesday. “He said when the wind blew, it knocked it over.”

Cammack was operating the truck with a suspended license and was in violation of his bail conditions.

Police arrested Cammack and took him to Penobscot County Jail for violation of condition of release and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license.

Maine State Police were called to see if there were any defects with the truck, but found it to be in good condition, Ewing said.

Cammack had been released from jail by Tuesday evening.

Two teenagers were summoned Saturday morning for illegal possession of liquor by a minor by consumption after they reportedly were found staggering down College Avenue in Orono.

The two allegedly had been in the middle of the road a short time before two Orono police officers found them about 1:20 a.m., standing on the sidewalk near a University of Maine fraternity house.

“One of them was staggering around, trying to hold the other one up, who was covered in snow,” police Sgt. Josh Ewing said Monday.

Taylor Massey, 18, and Riza Dekidjiev, 19, both gave UM addresses and were summoned to appear in 3rd District Court in Bangor.

A light-colored sedan used in the reported theft Monday of a trailer carrying an all-terrain vehicle was caught on tape by the surveillance cameras of a neighboring business, and Bangor police were looking for the two thieves Tuesday.

A witness gave police a description of the people who unhitched and took the trailer carrying the ATV and a black dog sled from a Hannaford employee’s Chevrolet truck on Monday afternoon, Sgt. Jim Owens said Tuesday.

The truck and trailer were parked in the Hannaford employee parking lot on Stillwater Avenue and the estimated value of the property was $9,500.

The female driver, who did not get out of the suspect vehicle, is described as having dark hair, and the male is described as approximately 25 and wearing a brown knit hat. He was seen unhitching the trailer and attaching it to the sedan.

A cigarette butt at the scene was removed as evidence.

Bangor Police Department officials have asked people to keep an eye out for the black Harvey trailer with wood side panels, and the red 2001 Honda 5000 ATV, which has a windshield, winch and chain and gun holder.

Call Bangor police at 947-7384.
