Police drove a red Chevrolet pickup truck up and down a closed section of College Avenue from the Chi Omega fraternity house to the main entrance of the university before driving off in the truck around 10 p.m. Saturday.
The officer driving the truck accelerated quickly and spun the truck’s tires twice as other officers watched. The model of the truck was not clear, but the truck had a Darling’s dealership front license plate.
At least four police cruisers, from the Orono Police Department and Maine State Police, were on the scene. It was unclear whether anybody was taken into custody.
Officers on the scene refused comment, referring questions to Penobscot County District Attorney Christopher Almy.
The DA’s office is handling inquiries about the apparent hit-and-run that police say killed University of Maine student Jordyn Bakley. Almy gave no details of the incident and would not comment as to whether it was related to the investigation into Bakley’s death.
UMaine Public Safety was not notified of the incident, according to university spokesperson Joe Carr.
Police are looking for a 2003-2007 Chevrolet Silverado or Avalanche with possible front-end damage in connection with Bakley’s death. Those with information are asked to call the Orono Police Department at 866-4451.
