The spokesman said police attempted to pull St. Pierre over for speeding and suspicion of operating under the influence shortly after 1 p.m. Friday, but St. Pierre took off into East Millinocket.
Officers from both East Millinocket and Millinocket were able to get St. Pierre into custody after a roughly 6-mile chase.
St. Pierre was booked into the Penobscot County Jail.
