BANGOR, Maine — A Waterville man pleaded guilty Thursday in a Bangor court to conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed firearms dealer and stealing firearms from that dealer.
Court records show 21-year-old Damiean Marcial-Alexander and a coconspirator in April 2022 broke into a Waterville firearms dealer and stole several weapons, the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Maine said in a release.
According to the release, the stolen firearms included a Glock, Model 17 Gen5 9 mm pistol, and a Smith & Wesson .38 special revolver.
An ATF theft/loss report filed by the store owner stated a total of 15 firearms were stolen, including six revolvers and nine semi-automatic pistols, officials said.
"Evidence collected included Instagram and text messages planning the theft, including a map to the location from Marcial-Alexander’s apartment, as well as photos of the two men holding some of the stolen firearms," the release said.
Marcial-Alexander now faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine followed by up to three years of supervised release.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with assistance from the Waterville Police Department.
