A Hartland man was arrested Thursday for allegedly operating under the influence of intoxicants after leaving a party in Holden where he was warned not to drink and drive.

Jeffrey Libby, 43, was arrested by Officer Chris Greeley of the Holden Police Department at 10:34 p.m. The officer said he was on the lookout for Libby’s vehicle after receiving a call from people at the party.

“He was apparently at a gathering in Holden and had been warned by the people there not to leave,” the officer said. “I noticed him on Route 1A and stopped his van on Wilson Street in Brewer.”

Libby’s breathalyzer test showed a blood alcohol content of 0.22.

“That’s almost three times over the [legal] limit,” Greeley said. “I arrested him for OUI.”

A 17-year-old male was arrested early Sunday morning by Officer Stefin Brown of the Holden Police Department for allegedly operating under the influence of intoxicants, drug possession and operating a vehicle with an open container of alcohol after the youth got into an accident.

“He got into an accident at 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning,” Officer Chris Greeley of the Holden Police Department said Sunday afternoon. “He went through a stop sign and hit a rock wall on the Clewleyville Road in Holden.”

The 1990 Honda Accord the youth was driving had approximately $2,000 in damage, Brown said.

The juvenile has been charged with criminal OUI and two civil infractions for the open container and the drug possession.

A breathalyzer test on the teenager showed a blood alcohol content of 0.16, the officer said.

The Bangor Police Department received an anonymous tip last week that a woman was acquiring drugs by deception on two different occasions at the Sam’s Club pharmacy.

Sherry Bedard, 31, of Bangor set up an account in May using a real, unisex name and birth date of a local man, according to a police report.

Officer Eric Tourtelotte is familiar with the man Bedard was pretending to be and went to the pharmacy to look at video footage for May 10 and June 7.

The videos showed Bedard picking up 75 2 mg tablets of Xanax, and the electronic signature revealed that she indeed was signing the name of the man.

The pharmacist on duty informed Tourtelotte that Schedule Z drug accounts are done on “good faith.”

A probation officer confirmed that Bedard was still on probation for what he believed was acquiring drugs by deception. Bedard also had been concealing clean urine in a container in her pants and using that when tested for drugs.

In the interview room at the station, Bedard told Tourtelotte: “I don’t use benzos.”

Bedard tested positive for marijuana, benzodiazepine, oxycodone and cocaine, the report said.

Bedard was charged with two counts of acquiring drugs by deception.
