A man involved in a dramatic series of events in Maine, including crashing a stolen police vehicle, surviving gunfire from 11 police officers, and crashing another police cruiser while wearing handcuffs and a hospital gown, is currently not in a mental state to appear before a judge, according to his lawyer.
The chaotic chain of events began when the man, already wanted on a felony theft warrant, was found passed out in a chicken coop, arrested, and taken to a hospital for evaluation. While being transported to jail, he managed to slip his handcuffs, take control of the vehicle, and drive off, leading to a multi-agency pursuit involving officers from several law enforcement agencies.
