DOVER - A Gonic man has been indicted in the theft of artwork from the James W. Foley Memorial Community Center.
Philip Rideout, 63, with a last known address of 479 Gonic Road, is alleged to have stolen the artwork on June 9.
Rideout is facing a three and a half to seven year prison sentence due to his two earlier theft convictions.
The community center houses artwork from the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts, whose exhibit areas are electronically monitored.
The October grand jury indictments were handed down on Oct. 14 and released on Friday.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt, rather that enough evidence has been gathered to move forward to trial.
