Glenburn Police Arrest Two After Armed Incident and Home Break In; Dog Missing

Over the years, I have covered many violent occurrences, but this one strikes me in a unique way.

Perhaps it’s a break-in that affected several communities, masked criminals on the loose, or the havoc shots fired in broad daylight. Or perhaps it’s Rosie, the English Mastiff, nine, who fled in fear and hasn’t been seen since. In any case, Sunday afternoon’s events in Glenburn left more than just damaged property. A community was rocked by it.

It began on Danforth Drive at approximately 3:10 p.m. Terrified, a homeowner called 911 to report that shots were being fired outside her home by masked people. Her house was also damaged, as was her vehicle. Fortunately, nobody was physically harmed inside, but it’s difficult to understand the emotional toll that event took.

The events that followed seemed less like a small-town incident and more like a movie. This wasn’t just another arrest story—a high-speed chase, suspects jumping out in the middle of the road, one hiding beneath a trailer, and another breaking into a second house. It was unvarnished, risky, and extremely genuine.

Most headlines won’t convey the depth of Rosie’s disappearance. She’s more than a dog. She represents the safety, normalcy, and calm that were lost that day. And she’s still out there someplace in Glenburn right now, maybe afraid.

Rosie, have you seen her? Or have you seen something strange if you live close to Lake View Road? Your tip may be more important than you realize, so share your ideas below.

How It All Started A Broad Daylight Attack in Glenburn

It’s not the kind of location where you expect shooting in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, as anyone who lives in or near Glenburn knows. However, it is precisely what occurred on August 3.

Police received a 911 call from a frightened resident on Danforth Drive shortly after 3:10 p.m. She reported to dispatchers that a number of masked people were shooting at her house and seriously damaging her belongings. It’s a wonder that nobody was wounded inside her home or car after it was struck.

FOX 23 Maine claims that the suspects did not simply flee in silence. They took officers on a fast-paced pursuit that started in Hermon, went through Bangor, and returned to Glenburn. It was rapid, reckless, and dangerous—not just random pandemonium. You can only image how many people were caught entirely unprepared, even if they were just going about their Sunday routines.

This was an armed, mobile menace that stretched throughout several communities, not just a home invasion. Even in the middle of the day, that kind of thing makes you check your doors twice.

Suspects Run, Community on Edge

Like me, you undoubtedly wondered how they managed to escape that far.

It didn’t end there as police attempted to pull over the suspect car in Hermon near Union Street. After accelerating through residential areas, the vehicle decelerated close to Bangor’s Finson Road. Two of the suspects fled the car at that point.

One of them attempted to hide beneath a nearby mobile home trailer. The other one? He disappeared for a time.

On social media, this section of the tale gained a lot of attention. Concerned comments and real-time updates flooded local Facebook pages. The Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office posted one of the most popular posts, which described how the suspects fled and how the police were frantically trying to keep the situation under control.

Their Facebook update is available here. It serves as a reminder that, like the rest of us, law enforcement was equally overburdened and unprepared for the situation. Even though two people were taken into custody, one suspect remains at large.

Nobody in Glenburn wants to hear that sentence.

These violent outbursts of pandemonium aren’t necessarily isolated incidents, as seen by the arrest of another man in Stevensville just weeks ago in a similarly terrifying home invasion.

Break-In on Lake View Road A Second Family Gets Pulled Into This

This is where the story takes a surprising turn.

The driver did not make a long escape once the suspects dispersed. After following the vehicle back to Glenburn, police discovered it parked outside a residence on Lake View Road. However, he had broken into this house when the owners were gone, so it wasn’t his.

Take a moment to imagine that. When you return home after leaving it believing it to be secure, you discover it was a part of a crime scene. Someone pushed their way inside. Even if you had nothing to do with it, someone’s decision to use your house as convenient cover completely upends your existence.

Fortunately, before anyone else was harmed, the culprit was apprehended by the police inside the residence. What’s frightening, though, is how quickly a chase escalated into yet another infraction, another house, and yet another innocent family. When desperate people are on the run, it’s the kind of situation that makes you understand how quickly criminality can spread.

This was not the first instance of a single criminal incident spreading to several residences; in Michigan, two homes were attacked consecutively during a single invasion not long ago.

Rosie Runs Off And Her Family s Still Waiting

One aspect of this situation is as profound even though it doesn’t entail violence.

Rosie, the homeowner’s 9-year-old English Mastiff, was alarmed by the second break-in on Lake View Road and fled. Since then, no one has seen her.

She isn’t your typical dog. Rosie is shy but amiable. She has her ID information on a pink bandana and is wearing a collar. Law police may have cleared up the chaos, but Rosie’s family is still in a state of constant uncertainty, wondering if she is hurt, hungry, afraid, or worse.

Take a moment to look about if you’re nearby, perhaps along Danforth Drive, Finson Road, or Lake View. She may be waiting for assistance in a calm place. You can imagine how heartbreaking it is for the family who came home to police tape and an empty leash.

How Safe Is Glenburn After This? A Town Shaken, Not Broken

Let s be real when something like this happens so close to home, the first thought is always: Could it happen again?

Glenburn isn t a high-crime area. It s the kind of place where you know your neighbors, where lock the doors is more habit than necessity. That s exactly why this incident hit so hard. Gunfire, masked suspects, a chase through multiple towns, two homes invaded it shattered that sense of small-town safety in minutes.

You might be wondering: Was this random? From everything reported, it seems like the first home wasn t targeted it was just where the suspects started firing. And the second home? Pure bad luck for the homeowners, who weren t even there when their house got broken into.

This wasn t personal. But it was reckless. And if you live nearby, I wouldn t blame you for feeling uneasy.

What I d recommend? Use this as a nudge to check your locks, your cameras (if you have any), and how fast you can reach neighbors in an emergency. Moments like these remind us: safe communities aren t built by luck they re built by preparation.

You might remember when theOak Creek neighborhood faced a similar scare earlier this year, pushing residents to rethink just how secure their community really was.

How You Can Help For Rosie, For the Community

Look, you don t need to be a cop or own a drone to make a difference right now.

Rosie is still missing. Her family s desperate for any news. If you re walking your dog, going for a run, or just driving through Glenburn especially near Lake View Road or Danforth Drive keep your eyes open. Check tree lines. Look near sheds, under decks, quiet corners.

She s wearing a pink bandana and a collar with ID tags. If you see her, don t chase she might run. Instead, call the Penobscot County Sheriff s Office at 207-947-4585 and let them handle it safely.

Also, share. Share the photo, the updates, the flyer if you come across one. Post in your local WhatsApp or Facebook groups. Someone out there has probably seen her and your share might be what brings Rosie home.

And if you know anything about the third suspect still on the run, even if it feels small, call it in. An anonymous tip could bring closure to a community that deserves answers.

What Happens Next The Investigation Isn t Over

Two arrests down. One suspect still missing. But this story s far from finished.

Both George Overlock and Raphael Cupidon are facing serious charges drug trafficking, illegal firearm possession, burglary, evading police, and more. Overlock was the driver. He s the one who allegedly broke into that second home on Lake View Road. Cupidon ran on foot and was caught hiding under a trailer.

Police say the third suspect is still out there. That s a problem not just for investigators, but for public safety. So while it may feel like things are calm again, the case is active. The community is still watching. And updates are coming in fast.

What I ll be looking out for?

• Whether federal charges get added due to the firearms and drug seizure
• Any connection between the suspects beyond this one incident
• And most importantly, whether Rosie makes it home

This isn t just a report and move on situation. The story is still breathing.

Why This Story Deserves More Than Just a Headline?

Here s the thing: stories like this often get reported as bullet points. Arrests made, dog missing, case under investigation. And then the world moves on.

But if you live here if you know this street, this sheriff s department, this family it doesn t feel like a news brief. It feels personal.

Someone fired shots near your home. Someone ran through your streets. And Rosie? She could be hiding in your backyard right now, too scared to bark.

What happened in Glenburn wasn t just a crime it was a moment. One that revealed how fragile safety can be, and how strong a community becomes when tested.

So yeah, read the updates. Follow the charges. But don t forget the people behind the tape. The ones still searching. The ones still healing. And the dog who s still missing.
