A standoff about 5 miles up the road from me in rural Maine, These things dont happen very often around here so seeing 25 state cop trucks and swat and negotiator trucks is kind of interesting . Whats more interesting is I had a run in with this guy about 3 years ago.
3 years ago i was driving home with my wife on a sunday afternoon when i came across a minivan stopped in the middle of the road and 2 people apparently in an altercation outside the vehicle. (Backroad alomst no traffic)
When I got close I saw a man getting into the minivan and a woman running away from the van down the middle of road with ripped up clothes so my instinct kicked in and I pulled up next to her and yelled GET IN!
I drove away with the woman and the van whipped around following me. The woman in back seat was crying and frantic and wreaked of alcohol. She then proceeded to tell me her boyfriend who was following had recently got out of prison, met her then started dating.
I called my buddy who is a local sheriff for advice and he said call 911 because he wasnt on duty and was too far away to help.
The convict stopped following me so i drove home to drop off wife (who was freaking out) and to grab a pistol from my truck.
I didnt want to be home in case this guy came looking so I headed to the closest town store where there would be bystanders and to meet the cops. She got into the cop car and cop took a statement and that was last I heard of anything.
This morning a woman reported being held captive by texting 911 and they tracked the text to this guys house and now there is a standoff happening. The woman is apparently safe.
