Authorities in Maine are actively searching for 27-year-old Nathan Lagasse, who is wanted in connection with an assault incident that occurred on Thursday evening. According to Old Town Chief of Police David White, Lagasse is suspected of assaulting a female victim, resulting in injuries to her head and upper body. The search operation has mobilized a significant law enforcement presence in the Orono and Old Town areas. Multiple agencies, including the Old Town Police Department, Maine State Police, and Orono Police Department, are collaborating on the manhunt. Tactical resources deployed include a helicopter, drones, K-9 units, and a tactical team tasked with combing through the woods and surrounding areas. Investigators recently focused on a vehicle parked on a dirt road off Stillwater Avenue that matched the suspect's description. When officers approached the vehicle, they found it unoccupied but still running, indicating the suspect may have fled on foot. Traffic on Stillwater Avenue between American Concrete Industries in Veazie and Kelley Road in Orono has been detoured to facilitate the ongoing search efforts. The Penobscot Regional Communications Center is coordinating traffic updates as the situation develops. This case remains an active investigation with Lagasse currently at large. Law enforcement urges the public to remain vigilant and report any information regarding Lagasse's whereabouts. Tips can be directed to the Old Town Police Department or Maine State Police. This is a developing story, and additional details regarding the suspect's appearance, the specific nature of the assault, or further updates on the search operation will be provided as they become available.
