Driver, and later passenger, accused of OUI in Bangor

Bangor police arrested an alleged drunk driver on Sunday and later arrested the allegedly drunk person who came to pick him up at the police station.

The incident started just before 1 a.m. when a Bangor officer pulled over a truck on Main Street that was allegedly speeding.

The driver, Edward Garneau, 41, of Bangor was arrested after a field sobriety test. According to police, he had passengers who appeared to be more intoxicated than he was, and one of them, Jessica Boone, 30, of Stetson allegedly became argumentative when she learned the truck would be towed. She and another passenger left on foot, according to police.

At the police station, Garneau took an Intoxilyzer test that showed that his blood alcohol content was nearly three times the legal limit to drive, according to police. He was taken to Penobscot County Jail.

At about 2:20 a.m., Boone drove a separate vehicle to the Bangor Police Department, looking for Garneau, according to police. An officer allegedly saw signs of intoxication and gave her field sobriety tests after which she was arrested for operating under the influence and taken to Penobscot County Jail.
