HOULTON, Maine — The Aroostook County grand jury handed up 19 indictments for January 2026, including a man involved in a 2025 crash that killed two people in Orient.
Jayson P. Brewer, 51, of Houlton, was indicted for manslaughter, aggravated criminal operating under the influence, driving to endanger and reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon.
The collision occurred May 8, 2025, on Route 1 in Orient, when Brewer, who was driving a 2022 Dodge Ram south, struck a 2019 Jeep Compass driven by Dale Foley of Orient, police said at the time.
Foley, 66, and his wife, Donna Foley, 61, were killed.
The panel also indicted a Houlton man accused of sex crimes.
Brian F. Hayes, 36, of Houlton was indicted for dissemination of sexually explicit material, possession of sexually explicit material and domestic violence criminal threatening.
Hayes was arrested on Nov. 25 after a lengthy investigation by Houlton police, Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services.
A witness called police in early November to report having seen a man with child sexual abuse materials, police said at the time. Officers seized a telephone and found child sexual abuse material and related information.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt, but an indication that there is enough evidence in a case to move forward with a trial.
