Maine State Police Trooper John Darcy Cleared of Racial Profiling
An investigation into alleged comments made by Trooper John Darcy before a traffic stop has cleared him of racial profiling.
Maine State Police were made aware of the incident in August of 2020, when the U.S. Attorney s Office notified them of the alleged remarks. The report claimed that a microphone in Darcy s cruiser recorded him making a racial comment about the driver of a vehicle he was about to pull over. According to the Portland Press Herald, they claimed that Darcy said the suspect looked like a thug.
Colonel John Cote, Chief of the Maine State Police, released a statement today revealing the outcome of that incident. He started by pointing out that the traffic stop, in question, did result in federal felony level charges of drug trafficking. Seized during that stop were 141 grams of cocaine powder, 880 counterfeit prescription pills, and a loaded firearm.
