A man stole beer on camera Thursday night in Bangor.

Bangor police Officer Brandon Vafiades reported that a worker at the Big Apple Store on State Street called Thursday night saying a man had walked off with a $20 30-pack of Budweiser beer. Customers had told the clerk, who discovered the theft captured on security video. The man apparently approached the checkout line, then left.

A Bangor yard sale turned out to be a loss for one woman Friday morning when her purse was stolen.

Bangor police Officer David Bushey reported that a woman who was helping her mother with a yard sale on Howard Street called at about 8:30 a.m. to report a stolen purse. The purse, which contained credit cards, $270 in cash, and medication, had been lying on the ground.

A Bangor man reportedly left his bicycle unlocked on his front porch Thursday night, only to find it gone an hour later.

Bangor police Officer Larry Morrill reported that the Hammond Street man told him his G.T. Dyno stunt bike was stolen between 8 and 9 p.m.

The bike was worth $350. The man didn’t see the theft occur.

A Bangor bicycle officer arrested a man on a drug possession charge Thursday after the man allegedly tried to jettison a bottle of prescription medication.

Officer Shawn Green reported that at about 10:30 p.m., while he and Officer Jason McAmbley were on bike patrol, he saw a man he recognized as Christopher R. Lewey in the parking lot of Epi Sub & Pizza yelling obscenities. A woman was crying nearby, and Green spoke to both of them. The woman told him she was upset because her uncle is in Iraq.

Green said Lewey dropped a cigarette carton on the ground during their conversation, and Green told him to dispose of it properly. Lewey went over to a Dumpster and threw away the carton.

Green said Sgt. Tom Reagan, who had pulled up in a cruiser to assist Green, handed Green an unlabeled pill bottle Lewey had thrown out with the carton.

Lewey allegedly told Green the pills were Klonopin, a medication generally used to control seizures, and belonged to a friend.

Green arrested Lewey for possession of Schedule Z drugs. Officer Steve Jordan took Lewey to jail in his cruiser.

A sibling dispute resulted in charges for a Bangor woman and repossession of her brother’s car Thursday afternoon in Bangor.

Bangor police Officer Steve Jordan reported he spoke with a man who told him he had let his sister take his Dodge Neon more than a month ago, and that he wanted the car back.

The man told Jordan the Neon was unregistered, and that his sister, Tori Masters, had put plates from her Toyota Corolla on it to drive it.

He said Masters had bragged to him that a Brewer police officer had warned her about a defective exhaust but never checked the plates.

Jordan said he found the car outside Masters’ home on Fountain Street. Jordan spoke with Masters, who told him she had told her brother to come get the car.

When Jordan asked Masters about the plates, she told him she had put the Corolla’s plates on the Neon to drive it.

Brewer police Officer John Knapp asked Jordan to summon Masters for operating an unregistered motor vehicle.

Masters reportedly told Jordan that Bangor Car Care wanted to repossess the car, so Jordan called the business, which sent a wrecker.
