State Police say vehicle accidents involving deer are still happening quite frequently around Aroostook County as the deer are moving around. Troop F responded to several crashes this week, none with any serious injuries.

Incident Type: WARRANT Date: 2/08/2017 Town: Patten Trooper: Tr. Adams Brief Synopsis: Tr. Adams had paperwork to serve on a female subject in Patten and discovered that the female had two active warrants out of Penobscot County. Tr. Adams arrested the female without incident and transported her to Penobscot County Jail.

Incident Type: Arrest Date: 2/08/2017 Town: Linneus Trooper: Tr. Pescitelli Brief Synopsis: On December 31st, 2016 Tr. Pescitelli had received a report of vandalism. Male subject in Linneus wanted to report that a friend had drove onto his property and into part of his house causing minimal damage to the corner. The suspect’s vehicle was located a short time later with damage consistent with the victim’s story, but the suspect was not located. On Feb. 8th Tr. Bell initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle that was being operated by the male suspect and he was summonsed for Driving to Endanger and Criminal Mischief.

Incident Type: FRAUD Date: 2/08/2017 Town: New Canada Trooper: Tr. Curtin Brief Synopsis: Tr. Curtin took a report from a New Canada couple who had had fallen for an online scam. The couple had wired $4,000 thinking that once the money was received they would be awarded a grant worth much more money. The incident was a scam and the couple lost their $4,000. State Police again remind people that anytime they are asked to send any amount of money in order to receive more money in return; the proposal is probably fraudulent.

Incident Type: ACCIDENT Date: 2/09/2017 Town: Portage Lake Trooper: Cpl. Michaud Brief Synopsis: On 2/9/17 at approximately 1320 Hours State Police received a report of a crash on Route 11 in Portage. Cpl.

Flint’s 2009 Mitsubishi crashed into a guardrail, climbed a snowbank, and then crashed into another guardrail on the opposite side of Route 11. Flint reported to Cpl. Michaud that she was not sure why she lost control and drove off the roadway. At some point, Flint, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle. She was transported by Ashland Ambulance to The Aroostook Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries. The vehicle was extensively damaged and had to be towed from the scene. Cpl. Michaud was assisted at the crash scene by Ashland Ambulance and the Ashland Fire Department. PHOTO HERE
