AUGUSTA (AP) — A Maine woman police say acted as a driver or a lookout in dozens of burglaries and thefts committed by her boyfriend has pleaded guilty to taking part in 46 crimes.
Emily Allen-Perry of Jefferson pleaded guilty Wednesday in Kennebec County Superior Court to her involvement in dozens of crimes between Sept. 1 and Dec. 27 in Augusta, Belgrade, Benton, Chelsea, Clinton, Farmingdale, Gardiner, Hallowell, Manchester, Readfield, Vassalboro, Windsor and Winthrop.
Prosecutors say the 22-yearold Allen-Perry also took stolen items, including jewelry, to pawn stores.
