Massive damage occurred in York Hall the morning of Sunday, April 21. Around 4:40 a.m., officers responded to a call of a water leak in the second floor men’s bathroom. They found a sink had been pulled off the wall and the hot water pipe was broken. The steam released from the hot water set off the fire alarm. The water began running through the electric panels and flooded much of the dorm. Electricians, plumbers and the fire department all responded to the incident. Officers spoke with residents and were able to determine who may have been involved in this matter, which is still under investigation.

He searched the man, identified as Michael Mellow, 18, and found a 1.75 liter container of Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum. Mellow was issued a summons for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor.

An officer from the Orono Police Department who had been at the Park Street location assisted in identifying the men. One of the men, Matthew Montgomery, 20, was issued a summons for theft of services. The second man was also found but was not summoned due to a claim that he was under the assumption that Montgomery was paying for the bill.
