MARSHFIELD, Maine — Two Maine men are facing charges in connection with a shooting incident in June.

Around 3:30 a.m. on June 24, multiple troopers and deputies from the Maine State Police Department were dispatched to Maine State Police Sergeant Jeff Ingemi’s home in Marshfield. 

Sergeant Ingemi’s wife was awakened in the middle of the night by what sounded to be several gunshots. Sergeant Ingemi went outside to find the window of his personal truck shattered.

On Thursday, July 16, arrest warrants were obtained for Alfred “AJ” Polk, 20, and Dylan Nevala, 21. Both men are residents of Machiasport. 

Search warrants were obtained for their respective properties as well. At 3 a.m. on Friday, the Maine State Police Tactical Team executed the arrest warrants. Polk and Nevala are now in custody. 

Polk is being charged with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and Nevala is charged with hindering apprehension/ prosecution.

Both men were interviewed and transported to jail. The search of the residences is ongoing at this time. A vehicle believed to be involved in the incident has been impounded.

The Maine State Police Department said Friday's outcome is the result of an intense, three week, multi-agency effort. The department was assisted by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, Maine Forestry Service, Maine Warden Service, Maine Marine Patrol, and the Maine Department of Motor Vehicles Investigative Division.

Maine State Police confirm Polk sustained "minor injuries during his arrest and was treated."
