Maine Man Accused of Violent Carjacking Arrested in New Jersey

A Maine man accused of carrying out a violent carjacking in Massachusetts over the weekend has been apprehended in New Jersey, authorities announced Sunday.

According to Chief David Clark of the Reading, Mass. Police Department, police received a 911 call shortly after 6:30 p.m. on Saturday reporting that a motor vehicle had been stolen from a person pumping gas at the Shell gas station at 110 Main St. in Reading.

Police say that the victim was pumping gas on the passenger side of his black 2022 Range Rover Sport when the suspect pulled up next to another pump in a blue Chevrolet Malibu that had previously been reported stolen out of Maine.

The suspect then allegedly abandoned the Malibu and got into the Range Rover’s driver’s seat, did a U-turn in the gas station parking lot and partially ran over the victim while driving away.

Police say the victim, a 49-year-old Reading man, held onto the mirror of the Range Rover as the suspect drove away and was dragged by the fleeing vehicle for about 20 feet.

The victim was transported to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center with unknown injuries. No update on his condition is available at this time, police said.

The suspect, identified by police as a 32-year-old man from Livermore Falls, Maine, is alleged to have fled Massachusetts in the stolen Range Rover through Connecticut and New York into New Jersey.

The Malibu stolen out of Maine was towed from the scene by Reading Police for processing.

The suspect was apprehended at around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday following a brief vehicle and foot chase in Robbinsville Township, N.J., by Robbinsville Township Police.

The suspect will also likely face additional charges in N.J. and Maine, police say.

Do you buy Smithfield food products? And I do not!

In one of the biggest takeovers in U.S. food industry history, WH Group—formerly Shuanghui International—secured Smithfield Foods in 2013. The deal was worth $4.7 billion and included more than 146,000 acres of farmland across the United States. The company remains based in Virginia but is fully Chinese-owned.

Plenty of drugging, crime and illegals in Livermore Falls thanks to Janet. Her old stomping grounds. Sadly, although they barely speak English, the illegals ‘find’ the financial backing to purchase apartment buildings and small businesses. Maine is in peril.
