Old Town police arrest man with five warrants

Old Town police Monday arrested an Ellsworth man with five outstanding warrants against him.

Sgt. Scott Casey said Joseph Lane, 24, was arrested at 11:53 a.m. at a residence on Bodwell Street in Old Town after the Old Town Police Department received information that Lane was there.

Officers Brent Fournier and Debbie Holmes went to the house, where they found Lane letting dogs out. Lane was informed of the outstanding warrants and arrested without incident.

Casey said Lane was still at Penobscot County Jail on Thursday evening. Information about the warrants was not immediately available Monday. (Jessica Bloch, BDN)

Campus police issued a summons Monday to a University of Maine student who was using her grandfather’s handicapped parking permit.

UM spokesman Joe Carr said Kelley Burich, 22, who lives on campus in Orono, had parked her car in a campus handicapped space. Parking services employees became suspicious when a check of the permit revealed the permit holder was born in 1925.

Burich admitted to using her grandfather’s permit and was summoned for misuse of a disability placard. (Jessica Bloch, BDN)
