How they died
Pursuit
A 30-year-old woman told Gorham police that her former boyfriend threatened her and her parents. Police arriving at her parents' house reported seeing an argument going on between Joseph Cleaves and three people, and the man took off in his SUV, maneuvering around the police cruiser and speeding. Police chased the other into Standish, where Cleaves avoided a spike mat, and continued westbound toward Sebago where the other left the road and went into some trees. Cleaves was killed in the crash.
