BREWER, Maine — Brewer police arrested two area men on felony burglary charges after they reportedly broke into a residence Sunday morning and were confronted by the homeowner.

Michael Kelley, 30, of Corinth was charged with Class A burglary and Charles Stevenson, 29, of Brewer was charged with Class B burglary, Brewer police Capt. Jason Moffitt said Monday.

Both suspects are out on bail, a Penobscot County Jail official confirmed.

Moffitt said the two allegedly broke into a Brewer residence shortly after 9 a.m. Sunday morning and were surprised by the homeowner, who returned home unexpectedly because he had forgotten something.

He said that one of the suspects had a bottle of prescription pills in his pocket but returned it after he was confronted by the homeowner.

Brewer police Sgt. Arden Jones found Kelley first and arrested him at his home. Stevenson was arrested about an hour later, after he turned himself into police, Moffitt said.

  1. What is that guy smiling at? Did someone show him a picture of his life being flushed down a toilet? Had it been my house, bring 2 body bags. 

    1. he’s smiling because he knows he’ll be out in no time and back in business soon. i will say, these idiots are gonna screw up sometime and pick a house that’s sure to be their last.. it would be if i had caught them..

  2.  Ummm, Dawn, are you sure Stevenson turned himself into police? Could it possibly be that he turned himself in to police?

  3. Wow, talk about the shallow end of the gene pool!  Can you imagine coming home and finding those two things in your home?  

  4. These two characters  look Very familiar !!!

    I Know where I’ve seen ’em b4,,,

    In a movie called, “Of Mice & Men” !!

  5. The fact is, if enough guys like this get plugged by the homeowner, the rate of break ins and home invasions will go way down.
