Old Fort Kent Incident Resurfaces as Troy Jackson Runs for Senate
A 1988 Fort Kent police report obtained by the Bangor Daily News details a night when 19-year-old Troy Jackson kicked in a door, punched a man, and allegedly pushed his partner, Lana Pelletier; Jackson acknowledged the assault and paid a $50 fine, while Pelletier later disputed the police account in statements released by his campaign; Jackson has no criminal record per a background check, and the episode is resurfacing as he campaigns for the U.S. Senate amid scrutiny in a race that could determine control of the chamber.
