SOUTHWEST HARBOR, Maine — A local man was arrested twice in four days for alleged possession of stolen property, trespassing and violation of bail conditions.
Zachary R. Rand, 21, was being investigated for possible shoplifting in Southwest Harbor late last week when police said they discovered he was carrying a checkbook that did not belong to him, Chief David Chapais said Wednesday.
As a result, Rand was arrested Friday on charges of receiving stolen property and violation of bail conditions related to an earlier shoplifting case in Ellsworth. But Southwest Harbor police picked up Rand again on Tuesday night after he was found in a location where he was not allowed to be, Chapais said. He is now facing charges of criminal trespassing and additional charges of violating his bail conditions.
Chapais said Rand also is facing two burglary charges from incidents earlier this month in Southwest Harbor in which he is alleged to have stolen a flat-screen TV, tools and other household items.
He is being held at the Hancock County jail.
I wonder what the record is, and who holds it?
Discounting Otis, the beloved town drunk from “The Andy Griffith Show,” and Robert Downey, Jr., we’ll go with Henry Earl. According to Wikipedia, Earl has been arrested, as of January 2007, 937 times. This Newsweek article
and interview with the habitual offender reports he’s been “homeless
and unemployed since 1969” and “spends just about every other night in
jail … mostly for public drunkenness.”
Earl became an Internet star when his county jail’s
web site began showing the incarceration status of past and present offenders, not to mention years of mug shots. Earl’s notoriety led to a spot on the “Jimmy Kimmel Show,” and later spawned a rock song, a Firefox browser extension, and an oil painting, among other tributes. If you want to keep apprised of Earl’s comings and goings, this site is a pretty good bet.
He doesn’t seem to be a quick learner, a long stint may help him.
i see a bright future for this guy!!
Bright, as in orange jumpsuit?
Everybody knew when this guy was in middle school that he was going to turn out this way.
Send him back to his parents… somehow they forgot to teach him or, he failed to learn!
True Story. My cousin is a CO at a county jail in Massachusetts. He told me that at 10am on a Friday he released an inmate that had just served 8 months for a larceny charge. At 2pm the same inmate was brought back and booked for a new larceny charge. He had been free less than 2 hours when he stole from the same store again.
maybe the jail was having something good for lunch that day?
I recently read in BDN about a man getting arressted twice in 4 hours…I think he has the record….

Poor kid. Sounds like a big group hug would fix him right up. It can’t be his fault, must be society that failed him.
We can coddle and nurture him, come on, big group huf too……….
