Summary
A Maine Game Warden spotted a stolen pickup truck speeding the wrong way on I-95 Saturday night, triggering a high-speed chase that lasted hours. The driver, 60-year-old Lawrence Knowles, swerved, ignored warnings, and even used emergency crossovers to evade police before being rammed off the road by a sergeant. Knowles, later arrested, faces multiple felony charges including DUI, reckless conduct, and eluding officers — all while the truck was reported stolen. No officers were hurt, but Knowles suffered minor injuries and was hospitalized before being jailed. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
