A Penobscot County grand jury on Wednesday indicted 61-year-old Dana E. Wilson, of Brewer, on a charge of possession of sexually explicit material.

Brewer Detective Sgt. Jay Munson told WZON-AM that police began investigating Wilson after receiving a tip in February 2011.

A message left at Wilson's home was not immediately returned.

Wilson was inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame for his basketball feats at Bangor's Husson College, where he graduated in 1974. The hall of fame says Wilson averaged nearly 35 points a game his senior year, best among all NCAA Division III schools that year.
