MACHIAS — A couple from eastern Maine has been indicted on 47 charges for an alleged crime spree in February that included a home invasion to steal cash and drugs.

Michael Bailey of Calais and Amanda Fowler of Robbinston, both 27, were indicted Tuesday by a Washington County grand jury.

According to the Bangor Daily News, charges include robbery, burglary, criminal threatening and other offenses.

Bailey is accused of entering a Baring Plantation home Feb. 26 while wearing a mask and holding six victims hostage for about 30 minutes before fleeing with money and cocaine.

The following morning, a homeowner in Baileyville told police he shot a masked gunman who broke into his home. Bailey was suffering from a gunshot wound to his face and ear when arrested a few hours later.
