Island Police: Despite warning, resident skates on thin ice
Bar Harbor
On Jan. 5 at 7:20 p.m., a Hull’s Cove resident called the police department requesting the police check on a male who was ice skating on Hamilton’s Pond as she was concerned the ice was not thick enough yet. An officer made contact with the skater who, despite the warning that it may not be safe to skate, said he was going to stay and keep skating because he felt differently. No further police action was taken.
An officer checked on the welfare at someone at the town pier at 8:59 a.m. on Jan. 6.
