State police and Hancock County sheriff's deputies today arrested 30-year-old Michael Carter. Police say he was taken into custody at his home without incident following his indictment Thursday by a Hancock County grand jury.

Carter was also indicted on charges of elevated aggravated assault, aggravated assault and illegal possession of a firearm stemming from the same incident in which two other men were shot and wounded.

In March, 32-year-old Randy Sinclair of Ellsworth was shot to death outside Carter's house.

Carter has been taken to the Hancock County Jail in Ellsworth and is expected to be arraigned Monday.
