Waterville, ME (October 21, 2026):

At approximately 06:00 PM on 10/20/26, members of the Waterville Police Department responded to 10 Autumn Street in an attempt to locate John Whitney (41 of Waterville). Officers had active charges for terrorizing stemming from several threats that were made online over the last day. Officers were able to locate John inside his apartment, but he refused to open the door and made several threats to kill officers on scene with a fi***rm. Members of the Waterville Police Department Crisis Negotiating Team and Critical Response Team responded to the scene to set up a perimeter and begin communications with John. After several hours of negotiating, John refused to exit his apartment and even began throwing knives at officers on the perimeter. At approximately 11:00 PM, the Maine State Police Tactical Team arrived on scene to assist Waterville Officers. After an additional hour of negotiations, members of the State Police Tactical Team took John into custody without incident.

John was transported to Maine General Medical Center (Thayer) with minor injuries and eventually was transported to Kennebec County Jail. John was charged with Aggravated Reckless Conduct (Class B), Criminal Threatening with a Dangerous Weapon (Class C), Terrorizing (Class D), Refusing to Submit to Arrest or Detention (Class D), and Creating a Police Standoff (Class E). John’s initial court date will be 12/28/26 at the Kennebec Superior Court.

We understand that these large-scale incidents can cause some complications for community members, and the Waterville Police Department appreciates the public’s patience while safely resolving a very volatile situation.
