EASTBBROOK — A 23-year-old eastern Maine woman has been charged with robbery in connection with a home invasion that led to the shooting death of her boyfriend.

Maine State Police say Ashley Crowley of Beals was arrested today.

Police say Crowley lured a man out of his Eastbrook home early Monday morning by claiming she’d been involved in a car accident. The homeowner told police he fatally shot Crowley’s boyfriend, 23-year-old Nicholas Richards of Machias, after Richards assaulted him outside his home.

The shooter has not been charged.

Crowley was also charged today with robbery and burglary in connection with a Dec. 11 home invasion in Brooklin. She’s also charged with a burglary in Sedgwick the same day.

Police say Richards also participated in those crimes.
