DHS confirms the arrest of Olivia G. Wilkins (24) after she allegedly attempted to run over a Border Patrol Agent who was arresting two suspected aliens. On 25 Aug 2025, US Border Patrol agents were assisting the Maine State Police (MSP) and the Knox County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) regarding a vehicle rollover accident involving two migrants. While escorting the two detainees to the USBP vehicle, Wilkins, a bystander, allegedly began verbally harassing the officers. She then used her vehicle to drive at the group of law enforcement, squealing the tires and swerving, nearly hitting them. KCSO deputies pursued Wilkins, who subsequently crashed along the side of the road, and arrested her. Ms. Wilkins was charged with a litany of offenses. Map: Knox County.
Olivia Wilkins's bail was set at $50,000 and no GoFundMe page for her has been established yet. Maine was the last state in America to implement a public defender system, launching a five-attorney roving Rural Defender Unit in 2022, so she may receive free defense counsel. Below, a LinkedIn page for Wilkins shows that she also went by the name "Stevie" and used they/he pronouns. A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
