Maine State Police on Monday shot a driver driving a vehicle with a sign indicating he was carrying an explosive device near the Canadian border and refused to stop, local authorities said.
An officer tried to stop him around 10:40 a.m., but the suspect, identified as Tony Holford, 42, of Providence, Rhode Island, continued driving toward Canada.

"The officer observed a signal indicating that the driver was carrying an explosive device on board," according to the police statement.
He was chased down I-95, and the Canadian border was temporarily closed, at whose doors the car stopped, although his driver continued to ignore the agents' orders to get out.

Holdford "maneuvered" the car toward the Canadian port of entry of Woodstock, in the province of New Brunswick, which led to an officer firing several shots. The man eventually turned himself in and no one was injured, according to state police.
