BANGOR — A Westbrook man wanted for robbery was arrested after trying to elude police by running through a Kmart.

Bangor police received a tip that Sean Latham, 25, was at the Kmart on Hogan Road early Sunday evening.

Several officers responded to the store around 5:30 p.m. Police believe that Latham saw one of the officers through a window, according to a news release from Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards.

He ran through the store, down several aisles and out an emergency exit, sounding alarms. Officer Rob Angelo captured Latham in the parking lot, according to the release.

He was taken to Penobscot County Jail on a warrant charge for robbery. Westbrook police Capt. Tom Roth would not release the details of the robbery because the investigation is ongoing.

Latham was taken this morning to Cumberland County Jail, where he remained this afternoon on a bail of $50,000 cash or $100,000 surety.
