ACTON, Maine — The York County Sheriff's Office arrested a man from Acton Monday night for allegedly shooting at a car that was involved in a slow-speed chase with officers from New Hampshire.
Milton, New Hampshire police officers began chasing the car, which crossed over onto Foxes Ridge Road in Acton, Maine around 9:15 p.m., York County Sheriff William King said in a press release.
Some community members in Acton left their homes and tried to help police by forming a roadblock. One man, 55-year-old Robert Sprague of Acton, was armed with a shotgun, King said.
Sprague allegedly fired a shot at the vehicle that police were pursing, hitting the car's trunk, King said.
Sprague was arrested and charged with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon. He was taken to York County Jail, where he posted a $2,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in the York Judicial Center on November 26.
King said he believes Milton police did arrest their suspect and charged them for eluding police. King said he did not name the suspect because they are considered a victim in the Maine case.
NEWS CENTER Maine reached out to Milton police to learn more about the car chase, and will update as more information becomes available.
