BELFAST, Maine — A New Sharon man found himself in trouble Wednesday morning after allegedly breaking some large flowerpots and wreaking havoc on an unusual bench that is part of the “Please, Be Seated” summer street art project.
Aaron Dusoe, 22, came to the Belfast Police Department Wednesday to report that he had lost his backpack and laptop computer, according to Officer Mike Rolerson.
Rolerson went looking for the missing items and found them next to the bench that is located in front of Alexia’s Pizza on High Street.
The bench, Elemental Earth Seat, was created by two Rockland artists from the root system of a blown-down cherry tree. Rolerson said that some of the roots were broken from the bench and debris was still on the sidewalk.
Dusoe also allegedly busted the large flowerpots on Main Street that are located in front of the Green Store and left an empty 12-pack container on the lawn in front of Rollie’s Bar & Grill, also on Main Street.
“He said he was so drunk he doesn’t remember doing anything,” Rolerson said, adding that the incident likely took place around 5 a.m.
Dusoe was issued a criminal summons for criminal mischief and littering, Rolerson said.
Sooooooo, the TOWN of New Sharon got drunk & vandalized the flower pots?
I know, boy that’s alot of drunks…..
Ya, GREAT headline…….
New Sharon? So what are you holding the whole town responsible for this guys actions. I’ve seen typo’s before but a huge glaring mistake in the headline, someone is still out to lunch I guess.
Perhaps New Sharon and Old Christine are in cahoots.
Aaron Dusoe, 22, of New Sharon, Maine accused of drunkenly vandalizing art display, flowerpots in Belfast there you go BDN……just cut and paste (don’t forget to change to font)
…..
be he is a liberal.
Ugh. He’s already reproduced.
don’t they have an editor at this paper?
The editor is way to busy making sure that we are being good liberals to check the actual stories…..
it was only root beer
I think that Belfast should immediately declare war on New Sharon. This was just uncalled for, to have one town do this to another town. They’re not even in the same high school basketball class…….that might make this kind of dastardly attack a bit more understandable.
New Sharon had to vandalize the bench because Old Sharon wouldn’t. Come on BDN. fix it.
