PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — A second suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting on Northern Road earlier this week.
Police confirmed that Brittany Britton was arrested Monday but did not say what her role in the incident was or where she was found. The search continues for Jason Alexander, who police identified as a suspect on Monday night.
Police said a man called 911 around 6 a.m. Monday and reported he had been shot at a residence on Northern Road in a neighborhood near Skyway Industrial Park.
Police describe 44-year-old Alexander as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing approximately 220 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. A warrant has been issued for Alexander’s arrest and police continue to search “wherever he might be,” Presque Isle Police Chief Laurie Kelly said Wednesday.
Another suspect, Jomo White, 31, of Atlanta, Georgia, was located at a Presque Isle residence near State Street and taken into police custody on Tuesday.
The shooting victim, whose identity is not being disclosed, is in stable condition but remains in intensive care at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Chief Kelly said Wednesday morning.
He reportedly underwent surgery at AR Gould Hospital, but was transported with critical injuries to Bangor by helicopter.
Anyone who provides information that leads to the location and arrest of Alexander will be eligible for a $500 reward through the Aroostook Crime Stoppers, police said on Tuesday.
