STONINGTON, Maine — Police in Hancock County are asking for the public’s help in finding a man who assaulted a Stonington woman during an apparent home invasion.
The man reportedly entered the 60-year-old woman’s home at Manor Apartments around 5:30 a.m. Thursday with the intent of stealing prescription medications. According to the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office, the man struck the woman several times in the face before leaving the scene and fleeing in a vehicle.
The assailant is described as a white male in his mid-20s to early 30s, approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall with a slender build. The victim, who is not being named, was treated at Blue Hill Memorial Hospital and later released.
Lt. Tim Cote said no other information on the case was being released on Friday.
Police are asking anyone with information on the case to contact Deputy Jeffrey McFarland at the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office at 667-7575 or call the department’s tip line at 667-1401.

We all have the right to live where we want free from violence and happenings like this one. Stonington residents depend on the Sheriffs Department and State Police for protection. Unfortunately I think some criminals take that into account when they decide to committ crimes. I hope this woman is able to return home quickly and be able to get back to living her life as best as possible.
When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
You can get cheap cameras pointing at your entry way for very cheap, look online you’ll find them, that and buckshot, so you could film yourself protecting your property. Just make sure both feet are through the door.
Based on the number of home invasions over the last 12-18 months, it looks like drugs have well and truly permeated the state…so sad.
Keep the door locked and a hand gun readily available it will deter a lot of this
Hay Pal….Come Crashing through my door, the first thing you will hear is “click” quickly followed by a loud “boom”. Please come by, one less scumbag is called for here!
These punks are targeting the elderly for their prescription medicines. It is sick and sad. They need a self defense course using a gun. These disgraceful little cowards all going after the helpless ones. Put a gun in every hand and that will change!
time for some of these pill heads to take the final ride over the steel gates of hell (i.e the bridge),public service will do nothing down here,atleast it has not in the past. We need to take care of the scum ourselves i have no drugs for them but i do have the right to bear arms and god forbide they get between my door and the right to bear them.
How about a sketch? There is no way he’ll ever be found with that info.
Hey, the bad guys are taking over the state!
