Police say a man accused of trying to break into a home in Acton ended up crashing his vehicle into a lake on Sunday.
The York County Sheriff’s Office says a homeowner saw a man who appeared intoxicated and wearing only underwear on his Ring Doorbell while the home on Langley Shores Drive was unoccupied. Police received the call around 4:45 p.m.
The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.
A deputy spotted his vehicle a short time later. Police say the suspect took off at a high rate of speed when the deputy tried to pull him over, later crashing into Wilson Lake in Acton. He was able to free himself and swim to shore where he was taken into custody.
Police identified the suspect as 20-year-old Logan Pratt of South Berwick.
Pratt was taken to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
He was summonsed for eluding an officer and other traffic charges. More charges are expected as the investigation continues.
