On February 13, Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) located a 2005 Buick LeSabre that had been stolen in Limington by a man armed with a knife who had stabbed the Buick’s driver and fled in the stolen vehicle. The victim suffered a minor injury. Officers pursued the stolen vehicle through Standish, Baldwin, back through Standish and into Gorham where the chase ended.

Officers from the CCSO, York County, Gorham and the Maine State Police were involved in the pursuit. Law enforcement deployed spike mats three times, disabling the vehicle which was stopped when a Maine State Trooper positioned his cruiser using a pit maneuver to permanently disable the vehicle. The offender then fled on foot, pursued by CCSO and their canine team. Suspect was bitten by the canine and sustained a minor injury before being arrested and taken to jail.

He was charged with armed robbery, eluding, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, passing a police roadblock, assault on an officer, refusal to submit to arrest/detention and violating conditions of release.
