A 37-year-old motorist stopped for speeding Wednesday night on Ohio Street in Bangor admitted that he had been drinking and went as far as to tell the Bangor police officer, “I’m drunk,” and that he should take him in.

William G. Osgood of Bangor was charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants and with operating a motor vehicle without a license. Osgood’s license was a conditional one that came with the restriction that he not drive with any amount of alcohol in his bloodstream.

An Intoxilyzer test registered Osgood’s blood alcohol content at 0.21 percent, nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

And by his own admission Osgood was intoxicated, saying, “I’ll be honest with you, I can’t do these tests. I’m drunk, I’ll admit it,” after Officer Wade Betters asked him to perform field sobriety tests.

Osgood also told Betters that he was coming from a party at his boss’s house, where he had had seven beers and that he was driving a company car.

Betters stopped Osgood in front of the Ledgewood apartment complex – where Osgood lives – about 10:40 p.m. after radar indicated that Osgood was going 45 mph in a 25-mph zone.

The officer reported that he could smell alcohol coming from Osgood’s breath and that the man’s eyes were glassy and bloodshot. Osgood was also unsteady on his feet before and during the field sobriety tests that Osgood did perform, according to the police report. Osgood stopped during one test and told Betters, “You know what, just arrest me.”

A 38-year-old man told not to return to an Old Town store Wednesday night after he urinated on the wall outside was arrested after he ignored the warning and returned to the store, police said.

Police in that city charged Richard O’Clair of Orono with criminal trespass and warned him again not to return to Tim’s Little Big Store on North Main Street. O’Clair became unwanted at the store after a customer reported seeing him urinate on the outside of the store and an employee called police.

O’Clair was gone when Officer Seth Bear arrived, but his nephew – who was seen with O’Clair at the store – was still there. He initially told police that the person he was with was a friend named Mike, but didn’t know his address, Bear reported.

But a store employee tentatively identified the other man as O’Clair, whom police have dealt with in the past, according to the police reports.

Bear caught up with O’Clair as he was leaving a North Main Street apartment, apparently headed back to the store. Because O’Clair is deaf, much of the communication between him and the officer was done using a notepad and with O’Clair nodding his head, according to the police report.

O’Clair admitted to urinating outside the store, but when Bear wrote that he could not return to the store or he’d be arrested, O’Clair ripped three pages off the notepad. Bear got the three pages back, prompting O’Clair to ask for the officer’s name by pointing to Bear’s name tag. Bear gave the information to O’Clair, who walked to a parking lot across from the store.

O’Clair then walked back into the store and was arrested. At the Penobscot County Jail, someone else brought in by police communicated with O’Clair using sign language and learned that O’Clair had returned to the store to buy cigarettes.
