A Bangor man was given a summons for operating under the influence after hitting a tree in a front yard on Judson Boulevard at around 8:30 p.m. Friday, Bangor police said.

Officer Steve Pelletier responded to a report of a Chevy Trailblazer with disabled veteran plates that had hit a tree on Judson Boulevard. He said the driver, Franklin Bothwick, 72, of Bangor, smelled strongly of alcohol.

Bothwick said he had not been drinking, he needed his medication and that he was going home to get it, according to Pelletier. When asked what happened, he said that the only thing he could remember was trying to back his Trailblazer up.

Bothwick refused medical attention and was taken to the police station for an Intoxilyzer test, which recorded his blood alcohol level at 0.15 percent, according to police.

A Bangor man was charged with operating under the influence after leaving Barnaby’s Lounge at the Ramada Inn on Odlin Road at around 12:15 a.m. Saturday, Bangor police said.

Officer Wade G. Betters said he was parked across the street from Barnaby’s when he saw a red truck squeal its tires and quickly take off from the parking lot. He followed the truck and pulled it over at 890 Hammond St.

Betters said he could smell a strong odor of alcohol on the driver, William Chatfield, 35, of Bangor.

Chatfield was driving under a restricted license that required he not have any alcohol in his system while operating a vehicle, according to police.

He was given field sobriety tests, which he failed, Betters said. He was then taken to Penobscot County Jail, where an Intoxilyzer test recorded his blood alcohol level at 0.14 percent. He was issued a summons for driving under the influence and taken home.
