A man in a hospital gown who stole two police cruisers while handcuffed and survived gunfire from 11 police officers is in no shape to see a judge

In this image taken from video, law enforcement personnel converge on a suspect, who was arrested earlier in the day and then stole a police vehicle and crashing it, before exchanging gunfire with the suspect who then stole a second police vehicle, Monday, May 6, 2024, in Paris, Maine.

A chase ensued, joined by officers from Norway, Oxford and Paris, sheriff’s deputies and state police in a mostly rural part of Maine about 48 miles from Portland, police said. They eventually deployed spike mats that blew the tires and caused Porter to crash into a ditch. Maine State Police spokesperson Shannon Moss said initially, without providing more detail, that “officers confronted Porter and gunfire was exchanged.” That was in a statement on behalf of all of the law enforcement departments involved.

“I don’t think he’s mentally equipped right now to go forward,” Leary said. A mental examination was requested and Porter was scheduled to return to court on May 15.
