BIDDEFORD — A man who was the subject of a manhunt over the weekend was arrested in Biddeford on Wednesday.

Jessy Kehling, 27, a transient, was arrested at an apartment on Prospect Street on nine outstanding warrants including robbery, domestic violence, assault, theft, acquiring drugs by deception, assaults and violating of conditions of release, according to Deputy Police Chief JoAnne Fisk.

The search for Kehling began Friday, she said. Deputy U.S. marshals, Maine State Police troopers and Cumberland County sheriff’s deputies searched for him in Standish, in connection with a robbery and domestic violence assault, and outstanding warrants of arrest.

While being pursued by police, Kehling ditched his car on Route 25 and ran into the woods, according to media reports.

Reverse 911 calls were made to residents in the area, who were advised to lock their doors and report anything suspicious, according to Fisk.

Biddeford Police arrested him at a Prospect Street apartment with assistance from the Southern Maine Violent Crimes Task Force and Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and Maine State Police with K-9 units, stated Fisk.

After his arrest, Kehling was transported to the York County Jail in Alfred. Bail was set at $5,075.

Kehling didn’t resist arrest, but he did try to hide in a closet before he was taken into custody, according to Fisk.

Ronald Stanley, who lived at the Prospect Street apartment, was also arrested, according to media reports citing the U.S. Marshal Service, though Fisk would not confirm the arrest.
