It seems that Brewer has experienced a significant police enforcement incident, most likely a shooting involving an officer. Based on the available data, the following is a synopsis of the events that are taking place:
The event happened at the Walmart location on Dirigo Drive. The situation is being referred to by law enforcement as a “Signal 1000,” which denotes a serious emergency.
According to reports, Antoni Mathews, the suspect, is carrying a gun. It is reported that Mathews left the area and is currently driving a red vehicle near Walmart’s groceries section. To help find the perpetrator, the authorities have asked for air support as well as K-9 units. Several police officers from Brewer Police and the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO)
Department is on the way to offer support at the scene. Mathews is said to be sprinting along Dirigo Drive on foot. For everyone’s protection, a request has been made to the daycare centres in the area to start lockdown protocols. Mathews is being actively pursued by law authorities after he crossed Highway 395.
Wiswell Road has been suggested as a component of the attempt to contain Mathews in the Greenpoint Road area. It looks like this is developing quickly, as law enforcement is stepping up their efforts to capture the culprit and protect the public.
Law enforcement keeps us updated on the suspect’s whereabouts and ongoing search operations as the scenario develops:
Antoni Mathews was last seen about two football fields north of Greenpoint. He was last seen wearing a grey sweatshirt. Mathews might be in a field close to the PUBLIC WORKS location. To help capture the suspect, HOLDEN PD has joined the pursuit on foot.
It’s still unclear if a weapon was brandished, fired, or just seen during the event. Authorities are expanding their search operations to include The Starlite region as well. The railway lines close to the Train Trestle by Old Greenpoint Auto are the main focus of police activity on the HOLDEN side of Greenpoint Road right now.
The goal of the coordinated operations of several law enforcement agencies, which include extensive searches and foot pursuits, is still to locate and apprehend Mathews while maintaining the public’s and the officers’ safety.
