AUGUSTA — A Farmingdale man originally arrested on charges he fired a weapon inside a home that sent a bullet piercing through the walls and into a second house is now facing additional charges of falsifying evidence as well as a charge of unlawful sexual contact with a child under 12.

Dylan M. Dehetre, 23, was indicted Friday by a grand jury in Kennebec County on reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, falsifying physical evidence, discharging a firearm near a dwelling and criminal mischief, all April 5-6, 2016, in Farmingdale.

He was indicted separately on a charge of unlawful sexual contact that allegedly occurred Aug. 1, 2013-Aug. 30, 2015, in Litchfield.

An indictment is not a determination of guilt, but it indicates that there is enough evidence to proceed with formal charges and a trial.

The indictment says the firing of the weapon created a risk of bodily injury to a woman. It also says Dehetre “did alter, destroy, conceal or remove” items relevant to the investigation, discharged a weapon in a residence without the owner’s permission and damaged or destroyed windows or walls of another residence.

According to Maine State Police, troopers went to 48 Pleasant Ridge Road, Farmingdale, just before 11 a.m. April 6 to investigate a report that a bullet had been fired from within that residence.

They reported that “the bullet traveled from inside 48 Pleasant, through the wall, crossing approximately 100 feet through the woods and piercing into the neighboring residence at 50 Pleasant Ridge Drive. Fragments of a bullet were found in the neighboring residence,” according to a news release sent at the time from Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

Police also said Dehetre was legally allowed to possess firearms but also told them he had removed all his firearms from the residence recently, refusing to let troopers look in his bedroom.

After obtaining a search warrant, police reported finding a 30.30 lever-action rifle hidden in Dehetre’s room.
