BELFAST — A Waldo County grand jury handed down 38 indictments against 36 people when it concluded its work in Belfast Feb. 13.

One of those named was Jason Beal, 23, of Belfast, who was indicted for six counts each of burglary and theft by unauthorized taking Nov. 8, 9 and 10, 2012.

Beal is accused of breaking into homes in Belfast, half of which were occupied at the time with homeowners asleep, and seemingly unaware. One of those burglaries was at a home with an elderly female, who was woken in the middle of the night by a flashlight shining on her from the threshold of her bedroom door. The frightened woman shouted at the intruder, who retreated, according to Belfast Police Chief Mike McFadden early in November, and then she barricaded herself in her bathroom until dawn when she felt safe to leave and get to the phone in another room.

The spree continued elsewhere in the city, and another four residents reported being burglarized the following morning, with some reporting items missing from nightstands while they were asleep. The homeowners only realized they had been robbed after they woke up later in the morning.

Beal was named in two additional indictments, one for unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs Aug. 16, 2012, (a Maine Drug Enforcement Agency case) and the other for theft by unauthorized taking Nov. 27, 2012, (another Belfast police case).
