JAY A woman is accused of operating a vehicle while under the influence and assaulting a police officer, the chief said Friday.
Police Chief Richard Caton IV said Crystal McNeil, 44, kicked a police officer in the chest Thursday afternoon as he tried to put her in the cruiser.
A passerby reported an accident at about 2:51 p.m. at the intersection of Davenport Hill and Morse Hill roads, where a vehicle had gone into a ditch, he said.
A vehicle driven by McNeil was traveling southwest on Morse Hill Road toward Dixfield, and appears to have attempted to turn left on Davenport Hill Road but instead drove into a ditch, Caton said. Jay’s in-house system indicates McNeil lives in Jay, but her license indicates a South Paris address, he said. The vehicle she was driving was registered in Skowhegan.
