Morning Sentinel (Skowhegan, Maine) – “’Creepy’ burglar charged again in Skowhegan” – April 10^th, 2014:

Police said Douglas A. DeWalt allegedly entered a woman’s home through an unlocked door and stood over her bed, just like he did in previous cases.

SKOWHEGAN — A man once described by a district attorney as “creepy” for twice breaking into homes and standing over women he thought were sleeping was arrested Wednesday in Skowhegan for allegedly doing the same thing.

Douglas A. DeWalt, 46, of Skowhegan, was charged with aggravated criminal trespass for allegedly entering a woman’s home near Jewett and Chandler streets through an unlocked door about 3:20 a.m. and standing over her bed, Police Chief Ted Blais said Thursday. DeWalt, who made his initial court appearance on the charge Wednesday, had only been out of prison five months for convictions on identical charges.

Blais said the 48-year-old woman was awakened by a creak of the door in the darkness of her home early Wednesday morning. She had left the doors unlocked that night, he said.

Blais said the newest charge against DeWalt shows a pattern of behavior that is disturbing, and said it highlights of the importance of homeowners locking their doors at night.
