WALES — A Maine man faces several charges after allegedly stealing a tractor-trailer rig, driving it through a fence and concrete barriers before stopping for police in Auburn.

The Sun Journal of Lewiston says 32-year-old William Wing is charged with theft of a motor vehicle, operating under the influence, violation of bail conditions and aggravated criminal mischief in the Saturday night incident. He remained in the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn this morning.

Police say a pursuit began after a motorist reported fencing and concrete masonry scattered on Route 202. Lewiston officers tried to stop the tractor-trailer but it continued into Auburn.

Police say the truck was stolen from Mason Pallet Co. in Wales, but Wing has no connection to the company. An investigation continues.
