A New Hampshire man faces OUI charges after Maine State Police say they received 14 calls to 911 about dangerous driving Saturday afternoon.

Police say the vehicle was traveling over 100 mph and driving erratically northbound on I-295 in the Bowdoinham area.

Troopers worked to narrow down the vehicle’s location as each call provided an updated mile marker.

State Police say the driver was finally tracked down and pulled over on I-95 in Waterville.

Officers say 22-year-old Alexandre Forsythe of Jaffrey, New Hampshire, was charged with Criminal OUI and Criminal Speed.
