The Maine Warden Service is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a man who allegedly rode an ATV on closed trails and private property without permission, then fled from game wardens in a manner that nearly caused a collision.
The incident occurred on April 10, in Dayton.
According to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, game wardens approached the individual while he was operating an ATV on a closed trail system. When instructed to stop, the man refused, accelerated rapidly, and nearly struck one of the wardens. Later the same day, a game warden attempted to stop and speak with the suspect at the Dayton Country Store on Route 5/35. The man again fled on his ATV. Store security cameras captured clear images of the individual during the encounter.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Gray Regional Headquarters at (207) 287-2345 or the Augusta Regional Communication Center at (207) 624-7076.
