Bar Harbor Man Indicted in Lamoine Shooting
Dimitry Dubrovsky faces multiple indictments
BAR HARBOR—A Hancock County grand jury indicted Dmitry Dubrovsky, 29, of Bar Harbor, Friday, December 26 on charges of aggravated attempted murder (three counts), attempted murder (one count), elevated aggravated assault (two counts), and kidnapping (five counts). He also was indicted on charges of aggravated assault, criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, criminal solicitation, criminal trespass, criminal restraint, assault, and obstructing report of a crime or injury.
Dubrovsky and Duncan Haas, 30, of Lamoine, were arrested in July. The arrest came after a 38-year-old Lamoine man had been beaten until he was unconscious and shot in the head, near his left ear. That shooting occurred on Stolt Road in Lamoine and had been reported by a neighbor who heard the shooting.
Court records indicate that the man was allegedly tied up, and placed in the back of a pickup truck and driven into Ellsworth where he escaped while Dubrovsky allegedly hauled him behind a vacant Bayside Road residence and toward Whittaker Brook. The victim allegedly pled for help and had asked to pray as he was dragged to the water.
The man then jumped into the brook. He swam underwater and when he resurfaced Dubrovsky was gone. The victim then got onto the bank, hid in a shed, and eventually went out to the roadway and attempted to wave down help from motorists.
The trio had worked together on Haass’ boat. Though still not indicted, in July, Haas was charged with aggravated attempted murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping, aggravated assault, and burglary.
Dubrovsky has a previous 2021 charge for allegedly shooting at a motor vehicle on Lamoine’s Route 184. That was the result of an alleged road rage incident.
Grand juries are typically composed of 16 to 23 citizens who are meant to give an impartial review of alleged criminal incidents. They privately meet to review charges and determine if formal charges should be filed. If they think those charges should be formally charged, the person is indicted. For that to happen, 12 members of the grand jury must be convinced that charges are warranted.
A grand jury files an indictment. Then a prosecutor can continue within the system and try a case. An indictment does not mean that a person is guilty of a crime. That is determined in court.
TREMONT MAN ALSO INDICTED FOR SEPARATE INCIDENT
The Hancock County Grand Jury also indicted Kris Soriano, of Tremont, for attempted murder. This indictment stems from an October incident where Soriano is alleged to have attempted to shoot his roommate.
Soriano allegedly threatened his roommate with a gun and then shot above his head as he told the roommate to vacate the premises.
According to Shannon Moss, the public information officer for the Maine Department of Public Safety, “the MSP Northern Field Troop responded to a shots fired call in Tremont Sunday evening. Initial reports indicated 38-year-old Kris Michael Soriano fired a weapon at his roommate.”
There were no reports of injuries, and Soriano was arrested without incident.
Soriano was an Acadia National Park employee who had been “employed by the park on October 22, of this year,” but is no longer employed by the park according to Amanda Pollock, the public affairs officer for Acadia National Park.
