Two teens arrested in pellet gun shootings

WATERBORO – Two Maine teenagers have been charged in connection with a weeks-long shooting spree in which more than 150 vehicles, homes and businesses were fired upon with pellet guns.

Enrique Arias, 18, of Waterboro and Joshua Pearcy, 19, of Lyman were arrested Wednesday night after being questioned by police detectives.

Nobody was injured in the shootings, which resulted in shattered car windows and left drivers on edge after several moving vehicles were fired upon on the Maine Turnpike. The shootings appeared random and occurred in Biddeford, Sanford and other parts of York County, as well as Portsmouth, N.H.

Arias is charged with criminal mischief and reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon. Pearcy is charged with criminal mischief.

Both are being held in York County Jail.
