NEW LIMERICK, Maine — Aroostook County Sheriff’s deputies arrested two New Limerick brothers, Robert “Robbie” Brewer, 22, and Cody Brewer, 19, on the evening of Jan. 11, 2015 for several outstanding arrest warrants.
Deputy Sheriff Stewart Kennedy went to their father’s home on the Station Road in New Limerick and found both young men hiding inside the home. The two were taken into custody without incident. Between the two brothers, there were five active arrest warrants for failure to appear in court and for unpaid fines, according to Sheriff Darrell Crandall.
In addition, Robert Brewer was charged with two counts of class B burglary, one class B theft, one class C theft and a class B theft of firearms.
Crandall said one burglary occurred on Route 2 in New Limerick in November, and among the items stolen were several firearms and a canoe. The second burglary took place in Moro, in September, and the items stolen included a truck, tractor, a car, a trailer and a storage shed. Deputies have recovered many of the stolen items, and have been actively looking for Robert Brewer to charge him.
Cody Brewer was subsequently bailed from the jail, while Robert remained in custody as of Monday afternoon. Because of the numerous charges, he has several different bails and there is also a probation hold on him.
Sheriff’s deputies involved in the burglary investigations were Vance Palmer, Erica Pelletier and Stewart Kennedy. Trooper Adam Bell also responded to New Limerick on Sunday to assist Deputy Kennedy with the arrest and transportation of the brothers.
Robert Brewer faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of the most serious offenses.
