According to a press release issued Friday, Biddeford Police arrested Emil Girard, a 26-year-old transient, on multiple charges on Thursday, August 7, stemming from two shooting incidents.
Girard was arrested on Elm Street in Biddeford, and is now facing multiple charges, including parole violations in Maine and New Hampshire.
Girard is also being charged with Elevated Aggravated Assault, a Class A felony.
Girard was transported to the York County Sheriff’s Department when he was unable to make the $50,000.00 cash bail.
The Biddeford charges stem from two separate shooting incidents, July 31, and August 4. Both incidents occurred on Pearl Street in Biddeford.
Police say the July 31 victim is a 46-year-old man who received medical treatment. The August 4 victim is a 21-year-old male who also received medical treatment.
Through investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division, evidence in both attacks linked Girard as the sole shooter, according to police.
Police are not providing any additional information at this time because both incidents are active, ongoing investigations.
Police say it is likely that Girard will face additional charges.
Police Chief JoAnne Fisk said — “out of an abundance of caution” the incidents led to the cancellation of this year’s Night Out event
