Suspects considered 'armed and dangerous' elude police for the second night, search continues

Maine State Police say that the suspects were not located overnight. They actively pursued leads in the Skowhegan area but were not able to find them.

SKOWHEGAN, Maine — Two men and a woman from Connecticut remain at-large Thursday after eluding police for a second straight night. 

The men, Christopher Terenc Farrow (also known as "Young"), 32, and Dayshawn Middleton (also known as "Day Day" or "Christopher Jones"), 29, are considered armed and dangerous based on a history of past incidents. One of the men has a warrant from Conn. for robbery. Police say there may be a young-looking female with them: Hailey Goeltz, 26, also of Conn. 

Wednesday night, Skowhegan police say they received reports that the suspects at-large could have made their way to Skowhegan and received word those suspects were possibly taken to Indian Ridge Apartments. Skowhegan Police Department and Maine State Police responded. 

Skowhegan Police Chief David Bucknum later confirmed with NEWS CENTER Maine the suspects were not Farrow and Middleton, who were involved in the Richmond police chase. However, Bucknum says police do believe they were at the apartments before police arrived. 

Skowhegan police also say Farrow and Middleton were involved in an incident at an apartment in Skowhegan on Sept. 4, in which there was a fight over a card game and shots were fired.

The details of Wednesday night's incident at Indian Ridge Apartments are unclear at this time, but it led to a standoff between a suspected apartment and police.

The rest of the Indian Ridge apartments were evacuated during the incident.

A 'person of interest' attempted to escape and run away, police say, but was caught shortly after and arrested. 

The man, 24-year-old Apalho Sullivan from New Hampshire, was brought to the Somerset County Jail. He faces felony drug trafficking charges. The other suspect remains at-large. 

The Maine State Police Negotiation Team was able to clear the rest of the people in the apartment out before the Maine state tactical team entered with a warrant.
