The following day, Trooper Lilley received a similar complaint and arrested both men for similar conduct after not heeding Trooper Saucier’s warning. Trooper Lilley had been looking for one of the men for an unrelated investigation and also charged him with Theft of Services.

August 16 - Troopers Saucier and Sylvia along with Sgt. Haines responded to a domestic disturbance in Littleton where a husband allegedly threatened his wife with a knife. Investigation showed the couple was arguing over intimacy and the male threatened to cut off his genitals to solve the problem. No crime committed and they were separated for the night.

August 16 - Trooper Bell and Sgt. Fuller responded to Haynesville after a complaint was made regarding suspicious injuries to a male who allegedly fell down a flight of stairs, was in critical condition, and was flown by helicopter to EMCC. The male had two broken wrists, a fractured skull, broken facial bones, and broken ribs.  A second male at the scene refused to give his name and had a cut on his eye and lip which he said were due to a fight with a bear.

After investigation, it was determined that the victim actually fell off an extremely steep and high set of stairs and the injuries were consistent with the fall. The suspicious male discovered the victim in a pool of blood and passed out which caused him to fall and hit his face off the floor, which explained his facial injuries and altered state of mind. The victim remains in fair condition. Troop F was assisted by MCU with interviews at EMMC and the Haynesville scene.

August 16 – Trooper Michaud stopped a 16-year-old for criminal speed in Presque Isle. The young man only had his license for a short period of time and was traveling 80 MPH in a 45 MPH zone. Trooper Michaud met with the youth and his parents the next day and he was charged for his speed.

August 17 - Trooper Darcy assisted the Aroostook County Sheriff's Office with a bail check in Oakfield. As a result, a 21-year-old male was arrested for Violation of Conditions of Release after admitting to drug use and refusing a urine test.

The World Acadian Congress events on Friday, August 15 saw heavy attendance throughout the day in Madawaska. Troopers detailed in the area came in to assist during the heaviest traffic times.
