FARMINGTON — A Livermore Falls man was indicted Thursday on a charge of robbery in connection with a Wilton man being robbed at gunpoint on Curve Street in Wilton in Dec. 9, 2011.

Robert T. Judd, 32, of 393 Fayette Road, remains in jail on $50,000 cash or a $100,000 worth of real estate.

Wilton police had a warrant for Judd’s arrest after he was accused of robbing the 27-year-old man.

Judd was arrested on the warrant at a Lewiston hospital by Auburn police on Dec. 14.

Franklin County Assistant District Attorney James Andrews requested the high bail at a court appearance on Dec. 16.

Andrews told the court that Judd had a criminal record that includes convictions for two robberies in 2007 and drug trafficking the same year.

Wilton police had sought the public’s assistance in finding Judd.

According to a Wilton police affidavit, the victim of the robbery contacted police at about 6:20 p.m. on Dec. 9 saying he had been hit on the head and robbed at gunpoint. He told police he did not know the robber but was able to identify a back-seat passenger in the car that carried his assailant, the document states.

The victim told police he had been walking home from a friend’s house when the vehicle approached him.

He described the robber as having no front teeth and wearing what looked like a camouflage jacket, jeans and a baseball hat with a flat bill.

The victim said he was struck by the man and knocked to the ground. He saw him pull a black handgun from the waist of his pants. He told police the man put the gun to his face with his finger on the trigger and told him that he will shoot him and to give him all of his money, that affidavit states.

The victim told police the man reached into the victim’s front pocket and took about $2,000 in cash.

Sgt. Richard Billian Jr. wrote in the affidavit that the victim had a large bump on the left side of his cheek where he indicated Judd struck him.

The victim’s girlfriend confirmed that her boyfriend was assaulted by a front-seat passenger who had a black handgun pointed at the victim.

A witness, also a passenger in the back of the suspect vehicle, told police that Judd punched the victim in the face and then picked up a bag of pills that the victim dropped on the ground, the affidavit states. The witness denied seeing a handgun.

The driver of the vehicle Judd was in was located at her residence in Rumford, the affidavit states. She identified the passengers in the vehicle, one of them Judd. She told police she looked out the passenger-side window and saw the victim punch Judd in the back of the head and then Judd punched the victim in the face, knocking him to the ground, according to the affidavit.

The driver confirmed that she let Judd and the witness back into the car. She also told police that the witness passed a bag of what she was told was Percocet. She told police that Judd split the pills with the witness in the back seat of the vehicle. She also told police she didn’t see a handgun, the affidavit states.

Auburn police arrested Judd on Dec. 14 after he was treated for a drug issue at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, police previously said.

Judd ran from an Auburn officer while being interviewed the previous night in New Auburn and gave a false name to police, Auburn police Deputy Chief Jason Moen said previously. Judd was not armed at the time.

“He was under the influence of some type of drug and exhibited medical symptoms that required hospitalization. He was transported by ambulance to St. Mary’s hospital before we could confirm his identity,” Moen told the Sun Journal in December.
