A suspect who led New Hampshire police on a high-speed chase into Maine on Interstate 95 early Friday morning has been identified.

State police attempted to stop a gold-colored 2003 Honda Elantra near the Hampton Toll plaza on Interstate 95 northbound in Hampton, New Hampshire around 12:15 a.m.

The suspect left the vehicle after losing a front tire approximately 2 miles north of the York Toll plaza and ran into the woods. Troopers secured the scene and set up a perimeter while a K-9, but were unable to locate the suspect.

He has since been identified as 33-year-old Michael Gatcomb of Livermore Falls, Maine.

Gatcomb is 6 feet tall, weighs 190 pounds with blonde hair and blue eyes. He has been known to be in Bath, Fayette and Franklin, as well as Washington counties.
