Canadian Teen Could Face More Charges in Chase

FARMINGTON, Maine (AP) — A prosecutor says a 16-year-old Canadian boy is expected to face additional charges after crossing the U.S. border earlier this month and leading Maine police on a high-speed chase in three stolen vehicles.

The boy, who is from Ontario, appeared on Wednesday in Franklin County Court. He already faces three class C felonies in connection with the Oct. 14 incident.

Police said the teen and a 13-year-old girl led authorities on a roughly 20-mile chase after speeding through a Quebec border crossing. They were eventually arrested in Kingsfield after abandoning a stolen pickup and jumping into a river.

Franklin County District Attorney Josh Robbins says any additional charges will be filed before the boy’s next scheduled court appearance Nov. 15.
