GOULDSBORO — A Steuben man lost control of his 1999 Oldsmobile July 6 when the tire on the right front passenger side suddenly fell off, police said.

Intoxicated Man
A Sullivan woman told police July 8 that there was an intoxicated man staggering in the road near the Gouldsboro and Winter Harbor town line on Route 186.
Police said they combed the area but were unable to find the man, who was said to be wearing jeans but no shirt.
Possible Speeder
A Gouldsboro woman complained to police July 3 that the driver of a small black pickup truck was traveling at a high rate of speed on Main Street in Prospect Harbor.

Loud Party

Dog Complaint
A Gouldsboro Point Road man called police July 13 and said his neighbor’s dog was in his yard again.

Police said the neighbor did not want to write a statement but did want police to record the incident.
Erratic Drivers
Police received a call July 3 that a white box truck heading west on Route 1 from Gouldsboro was weaving all over the road.

On July 11, police failed to locate a motorist who was reportedly driving all over Route 1 and headed from Gouldsboro to Ellsworth.
False Report
Police responded July 14 to a report of a 35-year-old man possibly having a heart attack, police said.

Well-being Check
A Birch Harbor man who said he was worried that he had not heard from his wife asked police July 6 to check on her.
Police said the woman was fine.
False Alarm
