He’ll pass
A male subject told police on Jan. 17 he would submit to a “paternity” test to prove his sobriety on as he was asked to leave a party on Gorham Road. Police told the man to walk – not drive – home, and the man walked down Gorham Road. He then called 911 to complain police would not let him drive. Officers eventually gave him a ride home.

Slippery slope
Police responding to a call about a car that went off Beech Ridge Road on Jan. 18 discovered a car in a ditch that had just grazed a utility pole. The driver, a 22-year-old woman, was summonsed for attaching false license plates, operating after suspension, not having insurance and lacking an inspection sticker on her vehicle.

Tracking genius
A 40-year-old driver fleeing a County Road traffic stop pulled into a private driveway and struck a building. He kept driving before fleeing on foot. His passenger, a 45-year-old male, was arrested on outstanding warrants while police followed the driver’s footsteps through the woods. Described as “extremely cold” when arrested, he was charged with operating after suspension, outstanding warrants, failure to submit and failure to stop.

Sorry, dude
A 22-year-old-man was arrested on Jan. 21 for leaving the scene of an accident at Saco and Gorham roads after he allegedly ran a red light, struck a vehicle, apologized to the driver and tried to drive away. His 18-year-old female passenger was summonsed for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Knock knock joke
