BANGOR – A Bucksport man charged with embezzling from Hancock County churches was indicted Monday by the Penobscot County grand jury on a charge of robbery.

John M. Charpentier, 39, was indicted for allegedly robbing the Mount Hope Variety Store in Bangor with a hammer Oct. 9. Employees recognized him as the man who dropped off the weekly payroll for the store.

Charpentier operated The Tax Man, a Bucksport-based business that provided accounting, payroll and tax services. Bucksport police have charged him with theft, claiming that he used the business to embezzle about $9,000 from the Pine Tree United Methodist Ministries, a consortium of five churches located in Bucksport, Orland and Penobscot.

After Charpentier’s arrest two days after the Bangor robbery, he allegedly told police that he had spent all of the $600 or $700 he took from the convenience store on cocaine, beer and cab rides.

He is scheduled to be arraigned on the robbery charge Nov. 11 in Penobscot County Superior Court.

In an unrelated case, Alan D. Perkins, 36, of Bangor was indicted on three counts of burglary, two counts of theft by unauthorized taking and criminal mischief.

He and Melissa Marie Alvarez, 22, of Lamoine, were arrested in August at W.A. Bean & Sons, a Bangor company that produces hot dogs and other meats. In addition to being indicted Monday in that burglary, Perkins was indicted in burglaries at a Charleston church and a Corinth restaurant.

Alvarez was indicted last month on similar charges and has pleaded not guilty.
