Great Job all you wonderfull men and women in all the Law Enforcement in Maine.

Don't do drugs.

Their parents must be sooooooooooo proud....

They musta watched too much Bo and Luke Duke as kids.

That is what you call a true BONE HEAD his momma most of not hugged him to much! something has to be in the water to make these fools act so!

These brothers must be from Europe and thought they were in the Grand Prix Race drving a BMW and VW. Did they think the police cruisers were pace cars? Were they just practicing for the Grand Prix? The schedule W drugs must do crazy things to your mind.

He has breathed in too much carbon ya know.

These two brothers need to race in the Indy 500... after they sober up, spend some time in jail and truly learn how to drive.

Seriously though, they could have easily killed someone!! Guess when you're downright drunk/stoned the fact that you've just been caught for OUI doesn't quite register as being serious enough... they added a few years to their sentences by running from the law.

Otisfield... Actually they have decent loving parents.... Nice try though.

I think it is humorous that he got away twice! Then by the great investigative prowess of the law, find him at home. Either he was waiting for them or he has some marbles loose. I would have been out of state ASAP.

I don't know who vchapes is, but thank you. No one really knows how a mother's heart feels until they go through something like this with their child. You can raise them the best you can, but when they become adults, they make their own choices. Again thank you.

I grew up with Kyle, Chris was obviously ahead of me. Nothing i hate more then people blaming everything on the parents when they dont even know them.

Ms. Goehringer~ Anyone with half a brain knows it's not the parents fault. Don't beat yourself up or blame yourself for the wrong that your ADULT children have done... this was their choice, not yours. Obviously alcohol makes people do stupid things that they wouldn't otherwise do, let's just hope your son's make better choices down the road... like not drinking and driving or perhaps not drinking at all. Good luck to you!!

As a neighbor of the Geohringer's from 11/99 until recently, Kyle has tried to follow in Chris' footsteps for sometime now. Ms. G. I think you were a very good mother, sometimes too good to them.. Mr. G., I am sorry but I've heard both of your boys say they couldn't stand you, but I do believe that you still love them both.. Last I heard your daughter was still doing fairly well for herself and I hope she stays on that path. She turned out to be the best of the lot. I still pray that Chris can kick his drug habit before it kills him, and that Kyle realizes that following in Chris' misguided path as a rebel isn't doing him much good..

Time to recalibrate the laws relating to eluding an officer. Criminal speeding ought to include the automatic charges of criminal threatening and reckless endangerment, since such behavior puts scores of people at risk for their lives, including the police. As to the man who led police on a three state chase, I wonder why Federal charges of interstate flight were not filed. Bottom line: Eluding an officer in a high speed chase is extremely dangerous, and the charges/penalties need to be upgraded. Public roadways are not a playpen for disturbed personalities.

I can't help kind of agreeing with otherlook8, but while we're busy re-writing the law, how about an offense called criminal chasing. This would apply to police officers with a contempt for physics who think they're such wonderful drivers their lights and siren permit them to tear down a city street at 60 mph or charge oncoming highway traffic at 100 mph.

It's a rare case when a police officer absolutely has to put the lives of everyone on the road and sidewalk in mortal danger, yet hundreds upon hundreds of hare-brained chases take place on this nation's roadways every day. Far too many of them result in injury and even death.

In instances in which it's unlikely the suspect vehicle can be stopped safely, why not change the law so officers could allow uncooperative drivers -- at least initially -- to get away BUT with the knowledge that conviction for refusing to stop carries with it a mandatory prison sentence far harsher than what conviction on whatever offenses were originally suspected might have brought.

Most people who do run from the police and get away are ultimately arrested. The reality is these sort of people are rarely psychopathic killers and sex maniacs whose escape from the law will allow them to murder and rape further victims. Most of the people who notice that blue light flashing in the rearview mirror and decide to make a run for it are kids, drunks and the simple-minded who were raised on far too much "Dukes of Hazard" TV fare. Ignorant, drunk, drug-addled and stupid, they tend to drive very badly when panicked into pushing a perhaps unfamiliar vehicle to high speeds.

There is entirely too much macho mentality (and Dukes of Hazard bravado) among far too many police officers. A suspect getting away is an affront to their manhood and too many of them are willing to risk killing everyone on the road including themselves to avoid that perceived humiliation.

Isn't it curious that ambulance drivers and fire truck operators aren't inflamed to this same degree of recklessness when the emergency lights start flashing? In contrast with the police, these public servants can certainly argue that when they get a call it's far more likely to be a matter of life and death yet they're almost always careful to drive prudently. Let's ask only the same of our police.

I tend to agree with PeterTaber, you see law enforcement people speeding all the time whether they're chasing someone or not. I thought the rules applied to everyone. An emergency situation is different but with all the communication equipment they have and as many of them as there is out there what reason is there for a police officer to chase someone. Unless you're Osama Bin-Laden there's no place to hide. What gives them the right to jeapordize everyone elses safty? I suppose wearing a badge makes you immune to the rules of the road. How often do you see a cruiser doing the speed limit?

I can honestly say, and would love to see some research on this theory: I propose that the average criminal in Maine and maybe even in the entire country, but def Maine, does less harm by doing crime then the average service worker or public representative here. This guy probably isn't half as bad as the pric*s that get praised. So I don't like to hear jack about your BS excuses why the drunken OUI assitant DA is a good guy. String him up.

Maine is so crooked that I don't think the average Mainer has a good concept of right and wrong, crooked or not, bad or good. Legal or illegal. Private or public. There should be polygraphs for any state, town, federal position, not just the crooked cops we hire.

Of course anyone who works in a school too should be polygraphed yearly as well. If we are gonna be big brother, lets at least do ths sh*t right.

and yes dogman, the law says cops aren't to go over the speed limit. 29A MRSA.
