ROCKLAND — A Brunswick man who is accused of trying to gain access to a Brink’s armored truck in Camden, remains at the Knox County Jail on $1,000 cash bail as of Sept. 6.

Jon Baribeau, 48, appeared Sept. 6 in Knox County Unified Court before Judge Susan Sparaco.

According to the affidavit filed in court by Camden police, they received a report around 10 a.m. on Aug. 28 from the manager at Hannaford that a person dressed in a yellow rain suit and wearing a ski mask, attempted to get into the back of a Brink’s armored truck that was parked outside the store.

The man was unsuccessful and then ran off in the woods behind the shopping center.

Belfast police officer Travis Spencer, and his trained dog, Dex, a Dutch-German shepherd mix, assisted with the search but they did not locate the man.

Baribeau had been living in his boat that was in dry dock in Camden at the time of the incident. He had gone to Hannaford that morning to get a cup of coffee, according to the affidavit.

On Sept. 2, Camden police were contacted by Brunswick police about a possible suspect, who was living with his sister. She told police that she believed her brother was the one who tried to gain access to the Brink’s truck, the report said.

Andrick said that Camden police had also received new leads on the case from witnesses, and video evidence, according to a previous news release. Detective Don Murray of the Knox County Sheriff’s Office also assisted with the investigation.

Police obtained a search warrant and searched the apartment of the sister in Brunswick where they collected a dark woolen knit hat and a yellow raincoat as evidence, according to the court document.

Baribeau was arrested Sept. 5 in Brunswick and transported to the Knox County Jail.

At the court hearing, Baribeau was ordered not to return to any financial institution and the Hannaford in Camden.

He will appear in court again on Sept. 28.
