Three people have been arrested after leading police on a car chase into Bangor.
Jacob Hawkes, 27, of Bangor was charged with unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs, violation of conditions of release, operating after revocation, eluding an officer and driving to endanger, according to the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office.
Clinton Taylor, 58, of Bangor was charged with unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs, and Kayla McCarthy, 26, of Lee was charged with unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs and violation of conditions of release.
Deputies attempted to pull over Hawkes about 10:42 a.m. Wednesday on Littlefield Avenue in Hermon for a traffic violation. But Hawkes didn’t stop and led police on a chase onto the northbound lanes of Interstate 95, according to the sheriff’s office.
Hawkes eventually pulled over near the Broadway exit in Bangor.
McCarthy allegedly had “dangerous drugs” in her body, so she was taken to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, where she was medically cleared before being taken to the Penobscot County Jail. Hawkes and Taylor also were taken to the jail.
As a result, deputies seized 142 grams of crack cocaine and 11 grams of fentanyl.
