An ice cream truck driver is facing charges in Maine after police say they found marijuana on his truck while he was making his rounds.
Richmond Police Chief Scott MacMaster says an officer stopped the truck at about 11 a.m. Saturday after a resident called to report a suspicious ice cream truck was traveling in a neighborhood without any children.
MacMaster told The Times Record that the officer smelled marijuana when he pulled over the truck as it was about to turn into Richmond High School.
The driver, 24-year-old Travis Wilson of Gardiner, was issued a summons for marijuana possession.

Man who scalded stepdaughter will spend 7 years in prison,,'smoked POT while child boiled'
Prosecutors say the 31-year-old Christopher Riley of Searsport ran a hot bath for his 3-year-old stepdaughter. When the girl yelled “ouch ouch ouch” he put his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. He then kept her sitting in the scalding tub while he shampooed her hair and left her there while he went outside to smoke pot. Riley eventually took the girl out of the tub and put clothes on her. When her mother came in and saw that the pants were wet, she pulled them off. The 3-year-old’s skin peeled off with the pants, according to the deputy district attorney. She suffered third-degree burns over 20 percent of her body and stayed at a Boston hospital’s burn unit for months. The girl will be scarred for life, Walker said, and will need skin grafts for the next 16 years.
