BANGOR, Maine — A local man was arrested for drug possession after he was found banging on a Sanford Street door that wasn’t his on Monday night, according to police.
Police found Percocet pills in the pocket of Marcus McCarthy, 43, of Bangor during his arrest on an outstanding warrant for failure to appear, according to Bangor police Sgt. Ed Potter.
“He was in the right neighborhood where he thought he should be, but he was at the wrong door,” Potter said.
McCarthy was booked into the Penobscot County Jail on a charge of possession of a Schedule W drug, a Class D misdemeanor. He remained at the jail Tuesday morning. (Ryan McLaughlin, BDN)
I would hate to have some drug user knock on my door…..could be all bad!
They don’t usually knock. One usually hears them when they trip over your slippers next to your bed.
Dope!
Drugs.
They REALLY DO make you smarter !
Knock-Knock…Who’s there? Failure to appear….Failure to appear who?….failure to appear at my house….and court……
Lets legalize drugs, then all the drug problems will go away.
Then we can legalize speeding,then there will be no more speeders. Then we can legalize breaking into a house, then house burglaries will go down. Murder. Legalize murder, then there will no more murders.
Sadly, stupidity is legal and there are lots of stupid people to be found.
Ive seen you go on about the horrors of Pot and how it makes people worthless. Millions upon millions of American’s admit to using Pot and other drugs. If it were that bad, this country wouldn’t be falling apart, it’d be completely decayed. It is not the substance, but the user. Only users that make the news are the ones doing illegal things. Doesn’t mean that’s how it is out in the world. Drugs actually can and have done a lot of good for people, despite the misinformation the fear-mongers smashed into your head. Drugs have their issues, but then again, so doesn’t everything. Can’t have day without night.
This argument you use constantly is so utterly nonsensical and completely baseless I find it hard to know where to begin. No-one said the drug problem will go away. It wont. It never has. It never will. Drugs will never cease to be, ever. I think most intelligent people would recognize current policy is not working. Apparently, you are failing to realize that generally drug policy is responsible for more damage to society then drugs themselves often prove to be. You think robberies are committed because the person wants to rob someone, or because they want drugs? If they could have gotten the drugs, would they have still robbed someone anyway? Rhetorical questions, so don’t answer.
If you disagree with anything I have said you are sad an I currently no longer desire to speak with you.
Note: Prescription Drugs
The big money drug dealers make it additive, and Doctors hook them on the stuff.. Or the teachers forced parents into giving their kid ritalin until the get out of school, then cut them off cold turkey… Same people I bet robbing these places..
Teachers prefer students that drool in the corner over the ones they have to keep busy. The Plus sides for the parents is their child get a disability check for life because the child is hyper.
Not any real info contained in this article.
The story doesn’t make much sense…
Must be drug related.
Let’s say it wasn’t drugs……what if you had a twelve pack under your arm and all of a sudden the cops show up? If you have a warrant, you have a warrant……you can’t tell me that they didn’t know where he was prior to this!! Just saying, ….. if you think differently, then the article isn’t giving appropriate information as it regards to police notification, which is bad reporting by BDN or poor PR by the cops……probably both.
