Common Criminal Offenses in Scarborough, Maine

Some of the most common areas of criminal charges that we see include:

Domestic Violence – Scarborough has a low number of assaults, but that does not mean crimes do not occur. Domestic violence can take many forms. Stalking, threatening, and sexual abuse can all be forms of domestic violence.
Marijuana Crimes – Because of the high number of young people in the city, Scarborough police are always on the lookout for marijuana. Possession of small quantities is a Class E offense, but cultivation or distributing can lead to Class B charges.
Drug Possession – Drug crimes in Maine are a big problem. Prescription drug fraud and abuse are particularly bad. Possession of any controlled substance can result in serious consequences as Scarborough police are looking to crack down.
Sexual Assault – The number of rape cases in 2010 was under 10 and the most recent projections show that sexual crimes in Scarborough seem to be decreasing at a steady rate.
Theft CrimesTheft, larceny, and burglary are the most common property crimes in Scarborough. In 2010, the largest percentage of criminal activity was related to theft crimes.
Juvenile Offenses – A large number of college students means a lot of underage kids being offered alcohol or even drugs. Police in the city monitor the roads extra carefully and underage OUI and underage drinking are common offenses.
OUI – One of the biggest concerns in Scarborough is drivers under the influence. College students are notorious for not knowing their limits and making stupid decisions. When a decision involves consuming alcohol or drugs and getting behind the wheel, innocent people could suffer. For this reason, police are extra vigilant in popular college areas.
