HOULTON, Maine — The Maine State Police Troop F barracks in Houlton responded to a number of calls for service during the period of Oct. 21-27, including the following.
Monday, Oct. 21
HOULTON: Cpl. Quint was conducting traffic enforcement and was driving through Houlton. He observed a vehicle not displaying a front registration plate and the vehicle had a defective/leaking exhaust. The vehicle was stopped on the Lowery Road and it was found the plates were falsely attached to the vehicle. The male driver, who was a minor, was also found in possession of a useable amount of marijuana. He was issued a criminal summons for the illegal attachment of plates and a civil summons for being a minor in possession of a useable amount of marijuana.
WOODLAND: Tr. Curtin responded to a Woodland residence when a local home owner reported that a woman would not leave his property after he had asked to her to leave several times. Once Tr. Curtin arrived, the home owner stated he had given the woman a ride to another location. The pair had known each other and apparently the issue had been an ongoing problem with the female showing up and not leaving the property. The woman was warned for trespassing.
MONTICELLO: Tr. Casavant was asked to check on a local woman when her family stated that they were concerned for her safety after not hearing from her for some time. The woman was located and there were no issues regarding her safety. She stated that she would reach out to her family and remind them she was fine.
