NORRIDGEWOCK — Suspected police-killer John Williams was apprehended alive early Saturday afternoon in a wooded area of Fairfield, ending a nationwide manhunt that lasted four days and involved some 200 officers.
Williams, who is accused of killing Somerset County Sheriff’s Cpl. Eugene Cole in Norridgewock early Wednesday morning, was taken into custody just after 12:30 p.m. in the area of Box 807 Route 139, also known as Norridgewock Road, in Fairfield.
Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said simply in a statement at 12:55 p.m.: “Manhunt over.” He said more details would come later.
Around 1:15 p.m., Williams — shirtless, barefoot and with his chest and arm tattoos clearly visible — could be seen being taken out of a wooded area by police behind a red, cape-style house. Williams appeared exhausted, his bearded face appearing dirty or scraped from days on the run. He was given a yellow blanket to cover himself up from the waist down. Williams was put into the backseat of an unmarked state police vehicle with detectives and driven away.

His last days of "freedom" were pure fear and frustration for sure. Unless he could find a natural path (made by humans or animals) he was struggling with thorns, sticks, and thick growth the duration of his time. Given that it took the cops days to find him, he likely was off any trails.
