SKOWHEGAN — Three people, including two juveniles, were arrested late this week by the U.S. Marshals Service on weapons-related charges, officials said.
The arrests of multiple Massachusetts fugitives were made in a pair of incidents Thursday night and Friday afternoon in Madison and Skowhegan, according to Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Ryan Guay.

Marshals arrested one juvenile Thursday night in Madison, Guay said. The juvenile had six warrants out of Massachusetts for charges including assault and battery with a firearm, vandalizing property, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building.
Marshals seized a gun and “an alleged quantity of drugs” during the arrest.
Kvon Brooks, 18, and another juvenile were later arrested outside an Irving gas station at 374 Madison Ave. in Skowhegan on charges relating to domestic violence and firearms offenses.
“There were multiple people detained, and there were multiple people identified with warrants of arrest,” Guay said. “We had several people arrested on violent felony charges, including weapon offenses.”
Brooks had warrants issued for attempted murder, strangulation or suffocation, assault and battery on a family member, assault and battery on a pregnant victim and vandalizing property from a Massachusetts District Court in Fall River, Guay said.
He was a passenger in a car driven by another juvenile with warrants for their arrest for several other firearm-related charges, also out of Massachusetts.
Cellphone video taken by a passerby Friday morning showed the moments after marshals arrested Brooks and several others at the gas station.
All three were arrested without incident, though the arrests at the Skowhegan gas station were met with cheers from passersby, Guay said.
“Vehicles were driving by with the thumbs up and kept honking,” he said. “We were sitting there going, ‘Well this is different!'”
The age and names of the juveniles arrested is being withheld due to U.S. Marshals Service policy.
