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

I’ve covered a lot of violent incidents over the years, but something about this one hits differently.

Maybe it’s the chaos—shots fired in broad daylight, masked suspects on the run, a break-in that spanned multiple towns. Or maybe it’s Rosie—the 9-year-old English Mastiff who ran off scared and hasn’t been seen since. Either way, what happened in Glenburn on Sunday afternoon left more than just broken property. It left a community shaken.

It started around 3:10 p.m. on Danforth Drive. A homeowner called 911, terrified, reporting masked individuals firing shots outside her house. Her car was damaged, and her home wasn’t spared either. Thankfully, no one inside was physically hurt—but the emotional weight of that moment is hard to imagine.

What unfolded next felt more like a movie than a small-town incident. A high-speed chase, suspects jumping out mid-route, one hiding under a trailer, another breaking into a second home—this wasn’t just another arrest story. It was raw, dangerous, and very real.

Rosie’s disappearance adds a layer that most headlines won’t capture. She’s not “just a dog.” She’s a symbol of what was lost that day—safety, normalcy, peace. And right now, she’s still out there, possibly scared, somewhere in Glenburn.

Have you seen Rosie? Or do you live near Lake View Road and noticed something off? Drop your thoughts below—your tip could matter more than you think.

How It All Started — A Broad Daylight Attack in Glenburn

If you live in or around Glenburn, you know it’s not the kind of place where you expect gunfire in the middle of a Sunday afternoon. But on August 3rd, that’s exactly what happened.

Just after 3:10 p.m., police got a 911 call from a terrified homeowner on Danforth Drive. She told dispatchers that several masked individuals were outside her house, firing shots and causing serious damage to her property. Her car was hit, her home was hit—and honestly, it’s a miracle no one inside got hurt.

According to FOX 23 Maine, the suspects didn’t just take off quietly. They led officers on a high-speed chase that moved from Hermon, through Bangor, and circled back to Glenburn. It wasn’t random chaos—it was reckless, fast, and dangerous. You can imagine how many people, even just going about their Sunday routines, were caught completely off guard.

This wasn’t just a home invasion—it was an armed, moving threat that spread across multiple towns. That’s the kind of thing that makes you double-check your doors, even in broad daylight.

Suspects Run, Community on Edge

If you’re like me, you probably asked: how did they even get away that far?

When police tried to stop the suspect vehicle near Union Street in Hermon, it didn’t end there. The car took off, speeding through neighborhoods before slowing down near Finson Road in Bangor. That’s when two suspects bailed from the vehicle and ran.

One of them tried to hide under a mobile home trailer nearby. The other? He vanished—for a while.

This part of the story got a lot of traction on social media. On Facebook, local pages lit up with real-time updates and concerned comments. One of the most shared posts came directly from the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office—they detailed how the suspects ran, and how officers were scrambling to contain the situation.

You can check out their Facebook update here. It’s a reminder that law enforcement was just as overwhelmed and reactive in the moment as the rest of us. And while two arrests were made, one suspect is still out there.

That’s a sentence no one in Glenburn wants to hear.

Just weeks ago, another man was arrested in a similarly shocking home invasion in Stevensville—a reminder that these violent bursts of chaos aren’t always isolated events.

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

Here’s where the story takes a turn no one saw coming.

After the suspects split up, the driver didn’t flee far. Police tracked the car back to Glenburn, where they found it parked outside a home on Lake View Road. But this wasn’t his home—he had broken in while the homeowners were away.

Imagine that for a second. You leave your home thinking it’s safe, and come back to find it was part of a crime scene. Someone forced their way in. You weren’t even involved, yet your life gets turned upside down because someone decided your home was convenient cover.

Thankfully, officers caught the suspect inside the house before anyone else got hurt. But what’s scary here is how fast a chase turned into another violation, another home, another innocent family affected. It’s the kind of thing that makes you realize how fast crime can spill over when desperate people are on the run.

This wasn’t the first time a single criminal incident escalated across multiple homes—two homes were targeted back-to-back during a single invasion in Michigan just recently.

Rosie Runs Off — And Her Family’s Still Waiting

There’s one part of this case that doesn’t involve violence, but it cuts just as deep.

During that second break-in on Lake View Road, the homeowners’ 9-year-old English Mastiff, Rosie, was spooked and ran off. She hasn’t been seen since.

She’s not just any dog. Rosie is friendly, but timid. She’s wearing a collar and a pink bandana with her ID information. And while the chaos may be over for law enforcement, Rosie’s family is still living in limbo—every minute wondering if she’s scared, hungry, injured, or worse.

If you’re in the area, maybe near Lake View, Finson Road, or even Danforth Drive, take a second and look around. She might be hiding somewhere quiet, waiting for help. 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 the Oak 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.
