Sagadahoc County Sheriff ’s Department arrested five people this weekend, charging each with operating under the influence.
Two of the charges were issued as the result of crashes, starting with a rollover in Georgetown early Friday morning.
Reported at 1:42 a.m., Sagadahoc County Chief Deputy Brett Strout said Jesse Swift, 23, of Georgetown was driving a 2001 Volkswagen Beetle south on Five Islands Road when he lost control of the car, which rolled over.
The car was totaled.
