We are aware of the recent court decision regarding the suppression of evidence in a traffic stop conducted by Cpl. John Darcy in 2019.  It is with great disappointment we learn of how this has been interpreted by some as a ruling that Cpl. Darcy engaged in racial profiling or that we as an agency condone illegal activities by our troopers. 

On Sunday, November 14, 2021, Augusta Police Officers and Detectives, State Police Detectives, and Evidence Response Team Members as well as an Investigator from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) responded to a wooded area behind Central Maine Power’s main building at the end of Edison Dr. in Augusta. A hunter located human remains there Saturday. Since the discovery was not reported until Saturday evening the scene was secured until Sunday to be processed. The remains were removed by the OCME and the office will examine them to determine the identification of the remains.
