FARMINGTON — Returning for gas on Sunday at the Big Apple on the Farmington Falls Road, a Rumford man was given a summons by Farmington police after store employees recognized him as the person who drove off from the gas pumps Saturday without paying.
Raymond Martin, 20, of Rumford, told police that he did pay for Saturday’s gas and even bought cigarettes. He also told police he was offended by store employees on Sunday and left the premises, but then police realized Martin had received a summons on the same charge at the same store less than a month ago.
Store employees reported a theft by gas drive-off Saturday about 10:30 a.m., and when Martin returned to the convenience store about the same time on Sunday, employees recognized him and confronted him and called police for an attempted theft, Farmington police secretary Rachel Heseltine said.
When police stopped him, records indicated that he had received a summons on May 28 on a charge of theft for a gas drive-off from the same Big Apple, she said.
