A man suspected of violating a protection order tried to run from police and was arrested by Cumberland County Sheriff’s deputies a day after his release from jail.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, Robert J. Rowe, 48, of Sebago was released from the Cumberland County Jail on Friday.
Deputies were called around noon Saturday to Sebago Road in Sebago on a report that Rowe had violated a protection order. Rowe was found in his car on Sand Pond Road in Baldwin, and he drove off after deputies signaled for him to stop. The chase, joined by the Oxford County Sheriff’s Department and Maine State Police, continued into Hiram, where Rowe turned down a dead-end road and attempted to drive across a yard to get to River Road. He crashed into a small group of trees, deputies said, and was arrested.
Deputies said Rowe suffered minor injuries in the crash and was treated at Maine Medical Center.
Rowe was charged with violating a protection order and eluding a police officer and was served with a summons for an unrelated theft.
