A driver who declared he had explosives in his vehicle drove past state police near the U.S.-Canada border on Monday morning, leading border troopers to open fire, officials said. The driver was identified as Tony Holford, 42, from Providence, Rhode Island, Maine State Police said.
The suspect displayed a sign indicating he had “an explosive device” in the vehicle, officials said. After failing to stop for a state trooper on I-95 in Houlton, Maine, the suspect drove his truck toward the Canadian Port of Entry, where a corporal opened fire. The suspect wasn’t injured and surrendered to troopers, after which he was taken to the Aroostook County Jail and charged with aggravated reckless conduct, terrorizing, and failure to stop, police said.
