A Wiscasset man faces an OUI charge for a second time after allegedly forcing a police vehicle off the road

Police responded to a report of a vehicle driving erratically on Mountain Road in Wiscasset around 6:20 p.m. Wednesday. The vehicle was spotted by an officer on Bradford Road. The officer was then forced to drive off the road to avoid a head-on crash.

The driver of the vehicle was stopped and identified as 48-year-old Stuart Wyman. He was already out on bail for an OUI charge from Monday.

Wyman faces several charges, including OUI, driving to endanger, and violating conditions of release.
