BANGOR – A Hampden man was indicted Monday by the Penobscot County grand jury for a March 15 break-in at Miller Drug and a Brewer church.

Steve J. Ellis, 35, was arrested shortly after 3 a.m. March 15 behind Miller Drug on State Street in Bangor. He allegedly had broken into the pharmacy through the front door and left out the back with 15 bottles of prescription medicine.

Earlier that evening, Ellis allegedly broke into the North Brewer-Eddington United Methodist Church on North Main Street in Brewer and allegedly took an undetermined amount of cash.

He was indicted Monday on two counts of burglary, two counts of criminal mischief, two counts of stealing drugs and theft.

Ellis previously was indicted in Penobscot County on six other charges stemming from three unrelated incidents dating back to August 2004.

If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison on each burglary count. Ellis remains in the Penobscot County Jail unable to make bail.

Ellis and others indicted Monday are scheduled to be arraigned on May 27 in Penobscot County Superior Court.
