It needs to be pointed out that Presque Isle/Caribou is way to Hell and gone in the northern part of the state, and about thirty years 'behind' the southern part in its social attitudes.
Why do you think they say there are "two Maine's?" We moved up here for Loring Air Force Base, and retired here. I am not a local, but have lived here long enough that I don't want to move. I love the peace.
I live close enough I listened to this on my scanner. One friend called me on her cell phone to turn my scanner on, because the PQI Cops had closed off Rt 1. The MicMac Indians led the cops to the pond behind Spruce Haven where the truck ended up.
This stuff used to happen in the dead of night. Now its happening during the day light hours. Not good.
That's good to know.
Immediately after reading the headline, the question popped into my head, "Whom did they arrest?"
As I see it, that should read "and about 130 years AHEAD OF the southern part in social attitudes".
Down here in GA I consider the rural areas far away from the Atlanta megalopolis to be the best parts of the state by a country mile. The trouble is that Atlanta will eventually cover the entire state of GA at the rate it's expanding, and probably spill over into AL, TN, and the Carolinas. IOW, the cancer is metastasizing.
