A chemical spill at a cannabis production facility on Riverside Drive forced the closure of several streets Thursday afternoon. The owner of Cure Cannabis said a disgruntled former employee, John Morrison, doused pot as it hung in a drying room poured isopropyl alcohol and bleach on cured marijuana destroying at least $100,000 worth of pot. Central Maine Power was called to cut electrical service to the building as fire and hazmat teams investigated the source of the smell. Riverside Drive from Dunn to Broad was closed as was a stretch of Mill Street from Riverside Drive to Broad Street.
