Well, I'm listening to yesterday's meeting in the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee. I just clicked around 1:59:00 and a few minutes in, Mike Sauschuck is talking. He's in charge of public safety. I spoke with him last spring, at the free screening of the documentary about homelessness in Portland, called Under the Bridge. I told him about the wrongful arrest in July of 2024. He offered no help, none. The Maine Criminal Justice Academy is failing to hold it's state police officers accountable, I don't care what he says.
Here’s something from a News Center Maine story about the meeting. Sauschuk wouldn’t answer a legislator's question regarding Justin Savage who is suing the state for $100 million after being beaten while in handcuffs.
Representative Nina Milliken, D-Blue Hill, brought up Savage’s arrest during the committee meeting, “I was hopeful that I would get some kind of appropriate response about why the officer in question was promoted while being the subject of an investigation.”
