GUILFORD – A Johnson Road resident has periodically been confronted with a bag of trash deposited in her driveway and it appears crows may have helped identify a culprit.
Fed up, the resident called the Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Department this week and reported the latest unwelcome gift. The resident reported that trash has been deposited in her driveway several times over the years, according to Investigator Guy Dow of the Sheriff’s Department.
Arriving at the residence on Wednesday, Dow said he picked up a trash bag that had been dropped off and when he did so, part of a court summons fell out through a hole pecked out by crows. The summons carried the name and address of a New York resident who has a camp in the area. Dow said he checked on the summons and found that it had been issued by a forest ranger for an unregistered all-terrain vehicle. The ranger told Dow that the owner had later produced the registration so he told the man he could tear up the summons.
“It was ironic. What are the chances of picking up a bag of trash and a summons falls out with a name and address on it. It doesn’t get any better than that,” Dow said.
Dow said he would contact the New York man to inquire if the bag fell from his vehicle without his knowledge or if he deposited the bag in the driveway on purpose.
