ELLSWORTH, Maine (AP) – A man who pleaded guilty to multiple burglary charges in Maine has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Forty-four-year-old James Grindel had served more than six years in prison until his release last November. Within a few months of his release, prosecutors said the Bar Harbor man was using a stolen credit card to make repeated gasoline purchases. In March, prosecutors said Grindel was caught burglarizing a Pretty Marsh home he had burglarized years ago when a caretaker for the property was notified about a silent alarm at the home that had been tripped.

The Bangor Daily News reports Grindel’s previous prison stay was for a string of burglaries he committed in Hancock County.
