manhunt/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.011b89f40e50
Officials say John D. Williams spent three days evading 200 law
enforcement officers. On Saturday, the fourth day of the manhunt,
authorities arrested him using the handcuffs of the sheriffs deputy they
say he fatally shot.
I thought that it was fitting, Somerset County Sheriff Dale Lancaster
told reporters on Saturday afternoon. He killed my deputy, Corporal Gene
Cole, and he was brought to justice using Coles handcuffs.
Cpl. Eugene Cole was fatally shot sometime after 1 a.m. Wednesday in the
small Maine town of Norridgewock. Maine State Police said Williams killed
the deputy before stealing his cruiser and committing a theft. Williams
was seen on surveillance camera walking inside a convenience store minutes
after the shooting.
The deputys cruiser was found abandoned a few hours later.
The manhunt covered a large, wooded area near Norridgewock. Lt. Col. John
Cote of the Maine State Police said dozens of officers who were divided in
teams combed through rough terrain and found evidence, such as fresh foot
tracks, suggesting that Williams was in the area. One of the teams spotted
Williams at a remote campsite just before 1 p.m. Saturday, police said.
A photo shared on Facebook by Maine State Police showed Williams lying on
his stomach with his hands behind his back while an officer grabbed a
handful of his hair. Cote said officers needed to take a picture of
Williams to confirm his identity, but Williams refused to raise his head.

mainestatepoliceAt approximately 12:43 p.m. on Saturday, April 28, members
of Maine State Police, Maine Warden Service, Fairfield, Maine Police, and
the FBI located John Williams and took him into custody. At the time of
his arrest the team needed to confirm his identity with Unified Command.
Williams would not present his face for the photo, and the arrest team
needed to facilitate the picture. #MANHUNT #UPDATE

scumbag piece of shit
Williams was not injured, Cote told reporters.
Photos taken by local media showed the heavily tattooed 29-year-old
shirtless, barefoot and wrapped from the waist down with what appears to
be a yellow tarp as he was being led by authorities.
The sheriffs office said Cole was a 13-year veteran of the agency.
Had another officer been a victim in this case, we knew Gene would have
been here every day, bringing his best effort to apprehend the suspect,
Lancaster, the sheriff, told reporters. He wouldve been proud of our
efforts.
Lancaster said Coles career epitomized what community policing meant.
Part of the outpour weve had with this community was because of Genes
interaction with the people here, Lancaster said. He was part of this
community. He was their deputy sheriff.
Investigators declined to comment further on why Cole was killed. Its
also unclear what charges Williams will face.
The FBI, along with local and state agencies, had offered a $20,000 reward
for information leading to Williamss arrest.
Shortly before Williams was arrested, Coles widow urged him to turn
himself in.
Mr. Williams, be assured youll be treated the same way Corporal Cole
would have treated you if you had given him the opportunity with dignity
and respect, according to the widows statement, ABC affiliate WCJB
reported. We just want you to talk to someone. Please, please talk to
us.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
