Updates through the day on News 9 from Radio 9 WCME.

The chain of events began with a northbound Chevrolet Tahoe veering into the southbound lane and colliding with a Hyundai Santa Fe, and then a Ford Explorer, also southbound, was unable to avoid the collision. Dead are the Hyundai driver, 70-year-old Robert Martin and 76-year-old Carolyn Martin.

Thousands of gallons of milk spilled from the tanker as it lay on its side. Troopers continue to investigate the crash and have not determined why Williams lost control of her car, which was demolished. Both northbound and southbound lanes were reduced to one lane during the six hours that the crash was investigated.

In Phippsburg, a man is in custody after a standoff with Sagadahoc County sheriff’s deputies and Bath police lasting over seven hours and not ending until early this morning. 54-year-old Ruben Foster is charged with two felony counts of criminal threatening with a firearm at 34 Rock Ledge Drive, where he is said to have threatened to kill his mother and sister, who managed to flee and report the incident.

Authorities were able to make phone contact with Foster and talked with him for several hours prior to his ultimate surrender. More charges are likely. Foster was taken first to Midcoast Hospital for an evaluation and then to the regional jail in Wiscasset. He’ll be arraigned on Wednesday.

56-year-old Henry Eichman of Topsham was arrested in September. He is said to have hosted pool parties and sleepovers at his apartment for two children involved in the program and was initially accused of sexually abusing three pre-teen girls. The indictment lists 16 counts: seven counts of unlawful sexual contact, six counts of unlawful sexual touching and three counts of visual sexual aggression against a child.

Police say they have recovered the suspected vehicle, a handgun and an undisclosed amount of money. Both suspects are at the Cumberland County Jail with bail set at ten thousand dollars.

Emotional moments today at the courthouse in
West Bath, where 24-year-old Dylan Grubbs of Thomaston was sentenced to five years in prison–with half of the time–or two and a half years suspended. The sentence followed a plea of guilty from Grubbs, who had initially been charged with manslaughter, to a lesser count of domestic violence with reckless use of a firearm, in last year’s shooting death of his fiance, 22-year-old Chelsea Jones as she sat in their vehicle in the parking lot of Shaw’s supermarket in Bath.

The final score–MCI 20 Lisbon 14, after Lisbon enjoyed a 14-0 lead at the half.
