BANGOR – An Aroostook County man was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court to 12 years in prison and three years supervised release for gun and burglary charges.
Robert H. Smith, 27, formerly of Caribou pleaded guilty in January to charges of being a felon in possession of firearms and bank fraud. He was referred to as an armed career criminal by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in a news release issued Thursday.
In September 2003, Smith allegedly broke into a home in Caribou and stole nine guns, a checkbook and credit cards. The same day, he forged and cashed a check for $444 at a bank in Presque Isle, according to police, who identified Smith in video photographs from the bank’s surveillance cameras. Smith was found in possession of a vehicle stolen from a Waterbury, Conn., dealer later that month.
In 1996, he was convicted of four felony charges of burglary and two felony counts of larceny, according to court documents.
Smith faces state charges next Tuesday in Penobscot Superior Court.
