Newspapers join forces in lawsuit, investigation Competing Maine newspapers team up, and get financial and legal support, to find out what the Maine State Police is concealing about officer misconduct. By Callie Ferguson, Matt Byrne and Erin Rhoda Share At the end of 2020, both Bangor Daily News reporter Callie Ferguson and Portland Press Herald reporter Matt Byrne checked their email and discovered the Maine State Police had sent them trooper discipline records. Ferguson had requested the documents six months earlier, in late May, and Byrne had waited even longer, having requested them in February 2020. The two work for competing newspapers, and both had hoped the records could serve as the basis for a story about how Maine’s largest police force handles discipline. But the records were written in such a vague way that it wasn’t possible to understand the underlying misconduct in most cases.
