BELFAST — The Waldo County Sheriff’s Department reported the following activity May 22 - June 3. An arrest or summons does not imply guilt.

May 22

Deputy Cassandra McDonald responded to the scene of a single vehicle accident on Albion Road in Unity. The driver of a 2012 Ford was unable to avoid a dog as it ran into the roadway. The driver was extremely upset and continued driving for several miles after striking the dog because they did not want to see it, according to the accident report. A fellow deputy traveled back to the scene to locate the animal, confirming it had died at the scene.
