@@@ A Manchester couple has been charged in connection with a robbery Saturday at a Rite Aid pharmacy in their hometown. Brooke Frost, 23, and Devon Gray, 25, were arrested Tuesday on charges of robbery, stealing drugs, theft, and possession of scheduled drugs, according to Capt. Dennis Picard, of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office. Frost and Gray were being held Tuesday afternoon at the Kennebec County jail in lieu of $20,000 cash bail. Both are expected to make an initial court appearance Wednesday.

Following several interviews, the suspects gave full confessions, Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said.

Kennebec Journal archives indicate Frost and Gray have two children together. Police had been looking for a woman who entered the Rite Aid on Western Avenue in Manchester around 3:15 p.m. Saturday and went to the pharmacy and demanded painkillers. Detective Sgt. Frank Hatch of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office said at the time that the woman, who was dressed in baggy men s clothing, threatened violence before running out with an undisclosed amount of prescription medication. Liberty said the woman, later identified as Frost, said, Give me Percocet. I have a gun. Police, working with a dog, tracked the woman s movement <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Christian Louboutin Boots</a> away from the store. The track failed to lead to the robber, but Hatch said it did turn up evidence, including clothing. He was unsure whether the woman ultimately got into a vehicle. While investigators think Frost committed the robbery, Liberty said Gray planned the holdup and did an initial walk-through to see if it was a good time to carry out the robbery. Liberty said investigators from Kennebec and Waldo counties, as well as the Maine <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Christian Louboutin Pumps</a> State Police, conducted a number of interviews and used images collected by Rite Aid security cameras to identify Frost and Gray. Frost was arrested around 8 a.m. Tuesday at a relative s home in Unity. Gray was arrested five hours later when he arrived at the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office for an interview. Hatch, who investigated Saturday s robbery with Kennebec County detectives Michael Bickford and John Bourque, said additional charges are possible.

We re still looking at whether anybody else might be involved, he said.

It was the second time in a month that the store has been robbed. A man walked into the pharmacy on Aug. 3 and demanded prescription drugs. Thomas Bourque, 31, of Belgrade, was charged in connection with that robbery. There were a record 56 pharmacy robberies in 2012, but the number of incidents dropped to a handful in 2013 and the first half of this year. There has been an increase in holdups recently, however. In addition to the two robberies at the Manchester Rite Aid, since Aug. 18 there have been holdups at two Augusta Rite Aids, one at Community Pharmacy inside Goggins IGA in Randolph and another at the Spring Street Rite Aid in Gardiner. Jesse Mansir, 31, of Gardiner, has been charged in connection with the Gardiner robbery. Police have called Dominic J. Pomerleau, 21, of Augusta, a suspect in both the Augusta robberies, but as of Tuesday he had not been charged. Nobody has been identified or charged in connection with the Community Pharmacy robbery.

All of the robberies were done by individuals who are addicted to opiates, Liberty said. The spike in heroin addiction is having a significant impact on our communities, our youth and on the safety of our families.

Liberty said most property crimes, such as burglaries and robberies, are <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Christian Louboutin Pumps</a> driven by addiction. He said numerous gangs from out of state have set up drug trafficking trades in central Maine. Meanwhile, drug investigative units are understaffed, underfunded and overwhelmed, Liberty said.

As a society, we must get serious about appropriating adequate funding for substance abuse treatment and drug enforcement or continue to suffer the long-term dangers of the drug trade, he said.

+A Manchester couple has been charged in connection with a robbery Saturday at a Rite Aid pharmacy in their hometown.
-Seattle City Councilman Bruce Harrell wants you all to pay for women's abortions.
+Brooke Frost, 23, and Devon Gray, 25, were arrested Tuesday on charges of robbery, stealing drugs, theft, and possession of scheduled drugs, according to Capt. Dennis Picard, of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office.
-He <a href=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php>Christian Louboutin Outlet</a>  , along with a couple co-authors, that they are  asking Obama and Congress to overturn all federal bans on public coverage of abortion.

+  Following several interviews, the suspects gave full confessions, Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said.
-"Over 41 years ago, the US Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that every woman has a constitutionally protected right to make her own personal medical decisions about when and if to become a mother. For almost as long 锟?nearly 38 years 锟?the Hyde Amendment has undermined Roe v. Wade by barring public funds from covering abortion care, effectively cutting off access for most women enrolled in public government insurance. Many of those most affected are low-income women, women of color, and immigrant women, who already face significant challenges to accessing safe, respectful, timely health care. This isn't just a matter of reproductive freedom 锟?it's an issue of racial and economic justice."
+Kennebec Journal archives indicate Frost and Gray have two children together.
-This is apparently another social justice cause. Everything is about social justice, racial justice, economic justice. Not paying for a voluntary medical procedure when the vast majority of people who want the procedure are only getting it as a result of behavior they consensually engaged in, well, that's another racial and economic justice cause.
+Police had been looking for a woman who entered the Rite Aid on Western Avenue in Manchester around 3:15 p.m. Saturday and went to the pharmacy and demanded painkillers.
-Now, I want to frame this conversation in a way it's almost never framed in, certainly not from people in the same ideological camp as Harrell.
+Detective Sgt. Frank Hatch of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office said at the time that the woman, who was dressed in baggy men s clothing, threatened violence before running out with an undisclosed amount of prescription medication.
-Let's talk about it from the perspective of someone who doesn't support funds going to abortions. A lot of people don't want to pay for abortions, myself included, because we think life starts at conception. Now, people have varying degrees of passion on this. Here's my take: I'm not 100 percent positive life starts at conception. I've got no idea. I do believe in God, and I believe in science, and science can't answer this question, only God can, and God isn't giving us an answer. So until I have that answer, I have to err on the side of life, just to be safe.
+Liberty said the woman, later identified as Frost, said, Give me Percocet. I have a gun.
-I <a href=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php>Christian Louboutin Outlet</a>  understand where the other side comes from, where they either don't think life begins at conception or don't care. I understand that position and I respectfully disagree. And since this is my money we're talking about, I hope you'll recognize my position.
+Police, working with a dog, tracked the woman s movement <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Christian Louboutin Boots</a>  away from the store. The track failed to lead to the robber, but Hatch said it did turn up evidence, including clothing. He was unsure whether the woman ultimately got into a vehicle.
-The Stranger article continues:
+While investigators think Frost committed the robbery, Liberty said Gray planned the holdup and did an initial walk-through to see if it was a good time to carry out the robbery.
-"If we pass this resolution, Seattle will become the first jurisdiction in the Northwest 锟?and the sixth nationally 锟?to declare its support for overturning the Hyde Amendment and restoring access to reproductive health care for every woman, regardless of her income or what kind of insurance she has."
+Liberty said investigators from Kennebec and Waldo counties, as well as the Maine <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Christian Louboutin Pumps</a>  State Police, conducted a number of interviews and used images collected by Rite Aid security cameras to identify Frost and Gray.
-But wait. No one's reproductive health care is limited under the Hyde Amendment. Abortions aren't banned. You just have to pay for them yourselves or go through a service that is subsidized via donations. You can still get your abortion. You just have to pay for it, just like if I want an elective procedure of some kind, I can get it, I just have to pay for it.
+Frost was arrested around 8 a.m. Tuesday at a relative s home in Unity. Gray was arrested five hours later when he arrived at the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office for an interview.
-Harrell's piece continues:
+Hatch, who investigated Saturday s robbery with Kennebec County detectives Michael Bickford and John Bourque, said additional charges are possible.
-"As women's reproductive rights are deliberately and strategically eroded in other states, passing the resolution shows that the Hyde Amendment and attacks on women's health do not reflect Seattle's values."
+ We re still looking at whether anybody else might be involved, he said.
-Can we stop referring to this having to do with reproductive rights? This is not an attack on women's health. You're not unhealthy if you can't get an abortion done. And the problem here, which is why I wanted to frame it with a clear understanding of why people are in favor of the Hyde Amendment, is because Harrell and other activists treat this like you just hate women if you don't pay for services they want.
+It was the second time in a month that the store has been robbed. A man walked into the pharmacy on Aug. 3 and demanded prescription drugs. Thomas Bourque, 31, of Belgrade, was charged in connection with that robbery.
-You often hear the slogan "my body, my choice!" Ok fine, your body your choice, but it's not your choice when you're using my money. It ceases to be your choice. <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php>Gucci Outlet</a>  If you want me to pay for it, I get a say in it.
+There were a record 56 pharmacy robberies in 2012, but the number of incidents dropped to a handful in 2013 and the first half of this year. There has been an increase in holdups recently, however.
-What they really mean is "MY BODY, MY CHOICE, YOU PAY FOR IT!" It doesn't work that way. If you want an abortion and you're morally okay with it, go for it. I won't stop you. I won't try to close down a clinic and I won't prevent you from getting one, but I'm not paying for it because I find it in the morally ambiguous zone to say the least. We shouldn't have to violate our religious beliefs because you can't pay for something that is an elective medical procedure.
+In addition to the two robberies at the Manchester Rite Aid, since Aug. 18 there have been holdups at two Augusta Rite Aids, one at Community Pharmacy inside Goggins IGA in Randolph and another at the Spring Street Rite Aid in Gardiner. Jesse Mansir, 31, of Gardiner, has been charged in connection with the Gardiner robbery.
