*A local resident called authorites Sunday to report that while walking on a local bike path she discovered a bag, which she believed contained marijuana. The resident asked that an officer be dispatched to take care of the bag and discuss the dangers of drugs with her children. An officer obtained the drugs and visited the caller’s home to tell the children about the negative side effects of smoking marijuana.
*An officer was dispatched to the Old Town Pawn Shop after police received a report of shoplifting Monday. The officer saw the owner and Christopher Wallace, 29, of Old Town, arguing in the rear of the building. The owner said Wallace had stolen an ice auger bit, used to drill holes in the ice for ice fishing.
Wallace allegedly said he had stolen the bit, but said he was not sure why he did it and that he was very stupid. Wallace was arrested for shoplifting and taken to Penobscot County Jail.
