Intoxicated Hancock man arrested at Ushuaia
At 12:20 a.m. Friday, officers received a request from Ushuaia to assist bouncers with an unruly individual outside the establishment. Apparently, the staff had deemed the man in question too intoxicated to remain at the dance hall, and when asked to leave, he became belligerent and unruly. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found a bouncer holding the man down. The bouncer told the officers that he had escorted the man, identified as Bradford Jackson, 21, of Hancock, out of the club and into a waiting taxi. Once inside the taxi, Jackson allegedly began thrashing and kicking, and the cab driver told the bouncer to take him out. Once out of the cab, Jackson tried to re-enter the dance hall. When stopped by the doorman, Jackson began grappling with him, as well. During these altercations, Jackson had fallen down and sustained injuries to his eyebrow area and chin. Officers placed Jackson in handcuffs and attempted to elicit information from him, but he was intoxicated and communicating with him was difficult. Based on these observations, officers contacted an ambulance, which transported Jackson to a hospital. Jackson was ultimately issued a summons for disorderly conduct and a criminal trespass warning not to return to Ushuaia.
Unruly female attacks bouncer
At 1:30 a.m. Friday, officers responded to a call for assistance from the Bear Brew Pub. Upon arriving at the scene, a bouncer informed officers that he had been punched in the mouth by an unruly female, later identified as Sophia Vallis, 22, of New Jersey. The bouncer had observed an argument taking place in the Bear Brew parking lot between Vallis and her brother, identified as Dimitri Vallis, 21, of Old Town. The bouncer had gone to make sure everything was alright, and Sophia Vallis allegedly punched him in the face. When asked by officers if she had struck anyone, she denied it. Sophia Vallis continued her confrontational behavior, and was eventually issued a summons for disorderly conduct. Approximately 10 minutes later, officers investigating an unrelated incident in the general vicinity were approached by Dimitri Vallis. He was bleeding from the face and claimed he had just been assaulted. He was unable to give a description of his assailant, stating that the individual had just left in a cab. Dimitri Vallis was intoxicated and very upset. At this point, a Bear Brew employee approached, claiming that he was his roommate and that he would calm him down. Officers observing the pair talk noticed the discussion become heated, with both Dimitri Vallis and his roommate shouting. Officers separated the two men, and the Bear Brew employee went back to the pub. Dimitri Vallis was issued a disorderly conduct warning and told to go home. However, at this point he became belligerent and continued yelling obscenities and being uncooperative. Dimitri Vallis was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct and transported to Penobscot County Jail.
Minor caught drunk driving
At 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, an officer on patrol near the UMaine campus observed a vehicle driving erratically. The officer followed the vehicle onto campus and pulled it over on Munson Road. Upon making contact with the driver, who initially presented his MaineCard, the officer could smell intoxicating beverages coming from the vehicle. The driver was identified as Michael Collins, 18, of Orono. When asked how much he had to drink that night, Collins first replied that he hadn’t consumed any alcohol, and that he had just come from a fraternity house. Soon, Collins changed his claim to “not being drunk.” The officer replied that it was still against the law to consume any amount of alcohol at his age, and pulled him from the vehicle to perform field sobriety tests, which Collins did not pass. He was placed under arrest for operating under the influence and transported to Penobscot County Jail, where his blood-alcohol level was revealed to be 0.16.
Police arrest obscene man
Officers received a request from Ushuaia to assist with the removal on an individual from the dance hall. The man, identified as Robert Cameron, 22, of Holden, had been involved in a previous altercation at the club, and management did not want him on the premises. Upon arriving at the scene, officers made contact with Cameron and explained that the staff wanted him to leave. Cameron reported that he understood and wanted to know if he could go round up his friends inside to get a ride home. Officers escorted Cameron back inside, where he became agitated and aggressive. Officers informed him he was being issued a disorderly conduct warning and strongly advised him to leave. Officers observed him leave and cross the street, yelling sexual obscenities. Despite more warnings from police, Cameron continued to act belligerent and obscene, and he was eventually placed under arrest for disorderly conduct. As officers put him into the police cruiser, Cameron began hitting his head on the divider cage and talked in detail about sexual things he would like to do to the female members of the officer’s family. Cameron was then transported to Penobscot County Jail.
