Two Arrested in Hermon Burglary and Drug Trafficking Case

The Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office has arrested two men in connection with a daytime burglary in Hermon that quickly unraveled into a significant drug and weapons investigation.

On May 11, deputies responded to a reported burglary at a residence on Bog Road in Hermon. Surveillance video captured multiple vehicles pulling up to the home, with at least four males exiting. One individual was seen carrying a handgun. The group forced entry by breaking open the door. No occupants were inside at the time of the break-in.

Working with the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency (MDEA), investigators located one of the suspect vehicles at a hotel in Bangor. Two men were seen entering the vehicle and were stopped and arrested on Odlin Road in Bangor. Penobscot County Sheriff’s K-9 Memphis alerted to the presence of illegal drugs inside the vehicle.

Search warrants executed as part of the investigation led to the seizure of two handguns and more than 220 gross grams of cocaine.

The arrests include:

• Carl Harvey, 34, of Glenburn, charged with Burglary, Criminal Mischief, Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person, and Aggravated Unlawful Trafficking of Schedule W Drugs.
• Adam Brooks, 52, of Waterville, charged with Burglary, Criminal Mischief, Unlawful Possession of Schedule W Drugs, Aggravated Unlawful Trafficking of Schedule W Drugs, and Failure to Register a Vehicle.
