The man accused of trying to outrun police in a high-speed chase and crashing into a minivan carrying children has a record that includes eluding police and other driving and criminal offenses.

Anthony Teabout was still being treated Tuesday at Maine Medical Center for injuries he sustained in the crash Sunday night. He is charged with driving drunk and eluding police, as well as driving with a revoked license — again.

A state trooper tried to pull Teabout over at mile 42 of the Maine Turnpike for a missing license plate Sunday, but police said he drove off, reaching speeds of 100 mph. He exited onto Interstate 295 and crashed into a minivan driven by a Wiscasset woman, causing minor injuries to two of the three children who were in the van.

Teabout was hospitalized with face and rib injuries, police said.

A review of his driving record and criminal history shows he is a habitual offender with infractions going back almost 30 years.

Teabout, 41, has been convicted of more than a dozen assaults, sexual abuse of a minor and drug trafficking. He has been sentenced to more than 3½ years in prison, as well as shorter jail sentences.

In 2006, Teabout was arrested by state police for eluding an officer and driving with a revoked license. He was given a suspended sentence of two years.

Teabout’s record shows he has been a resident of York County – recently Old Orchard Beach – although on Monday police said he was from Vassalboro.

Sunday’s chase was the second in Maine since Thanksgiving in which a person has allegedly tried to elude police and crashed into a family’s vehicle.

Timothy Williams, 39, of South Portland was arrested after fleeing from Kittery police and then crashing into a car on the Maine Turnpike, police said. The car was destroyed, but the couple who were in it, and their two young children, suffered no major injuries.

Williams was charged by a York County grand jury with aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, eluding an officer, driving drunk after two prior convictions for driving drunk, driving to endanger, criminal speeding and driving with a suspended license.

He is scheduled to appear in court next month.
