A driver in Maine led police on a 55-mile high-speed chase after nearly hitting a game warden who was investigating a moose complaint. The incident occurred when the warden witnessed the vehicle leaving the scene of a suspected trespassing and theft at a pulp and tissue mill in Lincoln. After being informed of the incident, multiple agencies initiated the pursuit, which lasted for more than 90 minutes.
Police employed various tactics, including the use of tire deflation mats, to slow down the vehicle. The chase finally came to an end in Haynesville. Two passengers in the car were taken into custody and have since been charged with crimes, including theft and criminal trespassing.
The driver, who initially fled the scene, was quickly located and apprehended. The individual now faces numerous offenses. It remains unclear whether the driver and passengers have hired attorneys to represent them. The driver has been transported to Aroostook County Jail, while the passengers have posted bail.
This incident highlights the importance of prompt action by law enforcement in apprehending individuals involved in suspected criminal activities. The collaboration between multiple agencies played a crucial role in ensuring the safety of the public and bringing the suspects to justice.
