TRENTON — The Trenton teenager who was the subject of a manhunt last week after allegedly threatening a girl with a gun remains in custody at Mountain View Youth Development Center in Charleston.
Dylan Sargent, 16, is facing charges of burglary with a firearm and criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon as a result of the June 7 incident.
According to Maine State Police Sgt. Alden Bustard, police first began looking for Sargent around 12:30 p.m., after receiving a call from the boy’s parents saying their son had ransacked their home and taken two firearms.
Police received another call at about 3:30 p.m. A person reported their teenage neighbor on Crystal Lane had just been in a confrontation with Sargent, whom she knew. The boy allegedly threatened her with a gun.
Around 6:30 p.m., Sargent was spotted walking near a police roadblock on the Bayside Road. He was taken into custody after a brief foot chase.
