Man Uses 18-Wheeler to Chase Alleged Thieves Through Several Central Maine Towns

This should serve as a reminder to would-be thieves that most Mainers are not just going to let you walk, or drive, off with their stuff.

According to the KJ, it took place several days to completely unravel the alleged theft of a trailer, generator, and other items from Gerry Gregoire, reportedly of Solon, Maine.

At about 6:30 on Wednesday (January 29th) morning, police were notified about the alleged theft of a trailer that contained a generator, compressor, and other items.  The article explains that the theft was reported by 55-year-old Gerry Gregoire, who said he never gave anyone permission to take the trailer.

Gregoire said he confronted the people in a white SUV, which was towing the trailer.  After exchanging words, they reportedly drove off, so Gregoire gave chase in an 18-wheeler.  The pursuit continued through several towns.  Eventually, Gregoire, with the help of another driver, was able to stop the alleged thieves.

According to Gregoire, the driver of the SUV pointed a gun at him and then drove off again.

Gerry Gregoire's son, Dylan, reportedly caught up with the SUV, but backed off when a firearm was pointed at him.

When the SUV reached the town of Athens, it slid on fresh snow and rolled over.  There were two adults and a 4-month-old child in the vehicle when it rolled over.  Fortunately, no one was injured.

The adults were identified as 41-year-old Alexander Wyman, and his wife, 42-year-old Sarah Wyman.

Initially, Alexander Wyman was charged with misdemeanor charges of driving to endanger and endangering the welfare of a child.  He was booked at the Somerset County Jail and released on $250 bail.

However, as the full extent of the situation became clear, charges were added.

He was re-arrested on Monday and charged with three counts of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and one count each of possession of a firearm by a felon, domestic violence reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, and violation of a protective order.

The article explains that Sarah Wyman was arrested and charged with three counts of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and one count of reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon.

It is important to note that neither Wyman has been charged for allegedly taking the trailer.
