Dominique Bailey
Police said Dominique C. Bailey, 29, of 33 Winter St. and another man broke into an Oxford Street apartment on Jan. 9 at about 10 p.m. wearing ski masks and threatening the tenants.
Police found Bailey hiding behind a parking garage with a cooler that held several jars of marijuana. During a search, police found a ski mask on him.
On Tuesday, an Androscoggin County grand jury indicted Bailey on one count of burglary and one count of robbery. Each is a Class A crime punishable by up to 30 years in prison.
He also was indicted on three counts of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, a Class B crime that carries a maximum punishment of up to 10 years in prison. He was charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and two counts of theft by unauthorized taking. Each charge is a Class C crime punishable by up to five years in prison.
Bailey is being held at the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn in lieu of $100,000 cash bail or $200,000 real estate. If released, he’s prohibited from having any dangerous weapons or firearms or anything that could be perceived as a firearm or pellet gun for which he could be searched at random. He is barred from having any contact with his co-defendant and may not enter the Oxford Street apartment.
His arraignment is scheduled for Friday morning in 8th District Court in Lewiston.
