UMPD officers dispatched to University Park after receiving a call that a man was walking around the neighborhood knocking on doors. When they arrived they found Michael Donahue, 32, of Houlton, wandering Connecticut Avenue carrying a pile of mail. Donahue approached the officers and asked what was going on. Officers observed that Donahue was “clearly impaired”, but exhibited no signs of intoxication. They ran his name through the system and found that he was on probation and was violating the conditions of his release by being in his impaired state. Donahue was transported to Penobscot County Jail in Bangor where additional drug and alcohol tests were run on Donahue. He tested positive for methamphetamine.
