AUGUSTA — A city man is facing charges after reportedly stealing a one-ton truck Saturday and then leading police on a chase into Sidney.

Anthony Hawkins, 21, was arrested after the 16-mile pursuit and charged with operating under the influence, theft by unauthorized use, eluding an officer and violating conditions of release, said Augusta Police Sgt. Christopher Shaw. Hawkins, who was held at the Kennebec County jail, is expected to make his first court appearance today.

Nobody was injured during the pursuit and there were no excessive speeds, Shaw said.

The chase began around 10:30 p.m., Saturday when Officer Benjamin Murtiff spotted the one-ton dual-wheeled, dump-body truck on State Street. Murtiff tried to stop the truck, which had no license plate, Shaw said. The truck matched the description of a truck reported stolen Saturday morning, Shaw said.

Hawkins sped away from the stop, followed by Murtiff, and drove for about 16 miles before stopping the truck on Dinsmore Road in Sidney, Shaw said. A portion of the pursuit was on Interstate 95.

Hawkins was arrested without further incident.

Shaw said the truck was not damaged and can be returned to the owner.

He commended Murtiff’s effort to safely recover the vehicle and arrest Hawkins.

“He did an outstanding job,” Shaw said.
