LEBANON - A Lebanon man indicted on 11 felony theft counts in July was arrested again this week after allegedly promising to fix another man's two vehicles than turning them in at a Rochester auto recycler to be crushed for cash.

Richard A Dixon Jr., 34, of 308 Chick Road, was charged with theft by unauthorized taking or transfer, a Class C felony in connection with the case.

Dixon was charged Wednesday at the Alfred Jail where he was serving time after being arrested in July on Chick Road for allegedly driving as a habitual offender as well as a probation violation.

In the most recent theft case, the victim said he dropped off a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 extended cab and a 1998 Audi A6 in the spring at a Chick Road residence for Dixon to presumably work on.

The victim had provided parts and payment for the work to be completed and upon learning that Dixon had recently been arrested, told police he was concerned because he had not gotten his vehicles back.

Maine State Police Trooper Adam.Schmidt located the vehicles at Lamberts Auto Recyclers in Rochester and learned that the Audi had been crushed on June 6 and the Dodge was crushed on June 15.

While the scrap value of the two cars would be far less than $1,000, the combined value of the vehicles was estimated at more than $8,000.

Meanwhile, Dixon faces up to 55 years in prison stemming from his July indictment on 11 theft charges, which occurred between July 2014 and January of this year.

Those charges were filed by Sanford Police for thefts that allegedly occurred in Sanford.

Dixon also faces an additional five years on the July operating after suspension charge.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt, only that a grand jury has found sufficient evidence to move forward to trial.
