The Maine State Police searched a wooded area in Glenburn for a missing man Wednesday.
Stephen McCausland, state police spokesman, said detectives searched a field and a wooded area near Route 221 for a man reported missing since August. The search started Tuesday and ended late Wednesday afternoon, McCausland said. Police are not sure whether they will continue searching that area.
McCausland said the police are not releasing the missing man’s name or where he is from.
Bangor police arrested a man Tuesday night after he allegedly ran a flashing red light.
Officer Dennis Townsend reported that he stopped Nicholas Clark, 22, of Bangor on Oak Street at about 11:30 p.m. after he saw Clark drive through the intersection of Washington Street and the Penobscot Bridge without stopping.
Clark allegedly said he didn’t know he was supposed to stop for the light. Clark was arrested and taken to jail for driving without a license.
Bangor police arrested an Alton man for operating under the influence early Wednesday.
Officer Dan Herrick reported that at about 1 a.m. he saw a pickup truck stop at the traffic light at Railroad and Main streets; however, the truck was in a part of the road that was barricaded for repair.
Herrick, on a police motorcycle, followed the truck down Main Street with his blue lights flashing, sounding his siren just before the truck pulled into the Main Street Inn parking lot.
Herrick said a man got out of the truck. When Herrick asked the man if he had heard the siren or seen the lights, the man said, “I’m sorry, I meant no disrespect.”
The man, Lloyd Hussey, 52, of Alton, showed signs of intoxication, according to Herrick, who administered sobriety tests. Herrick said Hussey then consented to a breath test at the police station.
At the station, Herrick said, Hussey tried to avoid blowing properly into the Intoxilyzer, but eventually made four “very half-hearted attempts.”
Hussey was taken to Penobscot County Jail and booked for OUI.
Bangor police arrested a man at Shaw’s Supermarket on Main Street Sunday night.
Officer James Dearing reported that at about 8:30 p.m. he went to the supermarket after learning that Elias Elias, 52, of Pittsburg, Calif., had gone there in violation of a criminal trespass warning. Dearing said he had issued Elias the one-year warning two weeks before, when Elias was arrested on a theft charge.
Dearing, with Officer Steve Jordan, found Elias in aisle 6. When he saw the officers, Dearing said, Elias dropped a basket of groceries. The groceries cost $10, Dearing said, but Elias had only about $2 in change in his pocket.
Dearing said Elias kept telling them, “I didn’t leave the store with them.” Though Elias admitted he knew about the trespass warning, he allegedly explained, “I was hungry.”
Elias was arrested for criminal trespass and taken to Penobscot County Jail.
An officer at the jail said meals are served there three times a day.
