High speed chase
Christopher Lezotte, 19, of Houlton led State Troopers in a high-speed chase Sunday evening after they attempted to stop him for a motor vehicle violation, according to state police reports.
Troopers Shawn Whalen and Carmen Lilley were investigating a report of a bonfire and party on the McGlinn Rd. in Ludlow when they attempted to stop Lezotte who attempted to flee in his pickup and left the area at a high rate of speed.
