Maine police shooting suspect John Williams, 29, who has a history of burglary arrests, was arrested March 22 when he drove off the road. Police said they found an illegal handgun with a large-capacity magazine and ammo in his car, as well as bags of white powder. Prosecutors tried to defend a $10,000 bail request but saw it reduced on appeal to $7,500 and then $5,000, after which Williams was freed.
