A police K-9 team tracked a man from Gray in Cumberland County, Maine,
who had fled from police, to his hiding spot 50 feet up in a tree early
on Wednesday morning.
Police charged Weston Wing, 30, of Gray with eluding an officer, leaving
the scene of an accident and driving with a suspended license for being
a habitual offender.
Police officer Jim Cook spotted a car going 65 mph in a 50 mph zone toward Gray on Route 202 at 12:11am. The driver refused to pull over, turned onto Route 115, then crashed near an intersection. The driver ran a short distance into the woods but Cook got a description of his clothing.
A police dog with Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office was used to track the driver and he was found hiding high up in the branches of a tree.
Wing has an extensive history of driving violations including about 20 license suspensions over the past 10 years, said Windham Lt. Jim
Boudreau.
