Central Maine Man Wanted After String of Crimes

Several law enforcement agencies are hoping that the public will know something that will help them apprehend a man wanted in connection with a string of weekend crimes.

According to an article on the WABI website, police across Franklin County are searching for a wanted man following a busy Saturday that included burglaries, stolen vehicles, an ATV theft, and a collision with a police cruiser.

The Jay Police Department is asking for the public’s help finding 43-year-old Craig Tracy, who has multiple active warrants. Tracy is described as about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing around 190 pounds. He has red hair and a red goatee.  See a photo of the suspect HERE.

Police are telling people not to approach him and to call 911 if he is spotted.

According to police, the trouble started Saturday, September 26, when officers responded to several reports of burglaries and suspicious people along East Jay Road.

Officers later found a man on Borough Road who was reportedly in the process of stealing a vehicle.  During the encounter, the suspect rammed a Jay police cruiser and took off.

Several agencies joined the search, and officers soon found the stolen vehicle. But that wasn't the end of it.

Police then received a report that the same suspect had allegedly stolen an ATV on Warren Hill Road. Officers pursued the ATV into the CMP power corridor, where the suspect eventually abandoned it and ran away.

The ATV was recovered and returned to its owner.

A female suspect, 39-year-old Danielle Adams, was later located by a police K-9 team. She was arrested on multiple outstanding warrants and also charged with unlawful possession of scheduled drugs.

Investigators are also looking for a light blue Audi hatchback believed to be connected to the investigation.  Police say the Audi has noticeable damage to the front passenger side that may be held together with duct tape.  It may also have Maine agricultural plates.

The Franklin County Sheriff's Office, Wilton Police Department and Livermore Falls Police Department assisted Jay police during the investigation.

Anyone who knows where Tracy is or has information about the Audi is asked to call 911.
