A man charged with crashing two law enforcement vehicles during a police chase that concluded with gunfire from 11 officers should be held without bail until his trial, prosecutors said Monday. Gary Porter of Maine had been arrested on a warrant for theft on May 6 when he escaped police custody and set off a chaotic series of events in rural Paris, police said.
He said Porter's actions posed risk to “all of the law enforcement officers that engaged in the chase.” Porter appeared in court on Monday via Zoom and spoke only briefly to address the judge. He has yet to enter a plea, has not yet been indicted and needs to complete a competency test before a plea can be entered, said his attorney, Justin Leary. After the court appearance, Leary said he is still gathering information about the case.
