State Police troopers intercepted a fleeing wrong-way driver on Interstate 95 in Bangor on Saturday evening.

A Maine Game Warden was traveling northbound with lights and sirens activated to respond to an unrelated search and rescue at around 9:19 p.m. The Warden noticed a Chevrolet pickup truck driving erratically near mile marker 186.

The driver of the truck brake-checked the warden, who then tried unsuccessfully to stop the truck and notified State Police.

The fleeing vehicle − later reported stolen from Skowhegan − continued down the highway, using a restricted emergency vehicle crossover near mile marker 191 in Orono. The driver then sped over 80 miles an hour before crossing the highway again near Hogan Road in Bangor, and proceeded to travel southbound in the northbound lane.

A State Police Sergeant rammed the truck off the roadway and into a ditch. Another trooper and the warden then barricaded the Chevrolet.

Officials identified the driver a 60-year-old Lawrence Knowles of Norridgewock. Knowles was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries. He was taken into custody at the Penobscot County Jail early Sunday morning.

Knowles faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges including eluding an officer, OUI drugs, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, aggravated operating after habitual offender revocation, violations of conditions of release and refusing to submit to arrest.

No officers were injured in the incident.
