BUXTON, Maine — A nearly seven-hour standoff on Long Plains Road in Buxton ended with an arrest Thursday afternoon.
The incident shut down Route 22 for much of the day and put nearby Bonny Eagle High School and Middle School on high alert.
"It's not affecting the operation of the schools, but we are taking extra precautions. SROs are on site," MSAD6 Superintendent Paul Penna told NEWS CENTER Maine Thursday morning.
