“We extend our sincere thanks to the men and women of the Bangor Police Department for their professionalism and compassionate response. We will cooperate fully with their investigation, including providing the vehicle information, the identity of the driver, his social media history, the VIN number on his vehicle, his romantic history, our account of what happened, and our opinion as to what should happen to the driver and the taxpayer-funded methadone slingers who helped him become intoxicated before getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

The Maine Wire's statement continued, thanking the Bangor Police Department and pledging full cooperation with their investigation.

“Joe was there to ask questions about a methadone clinic that, according to The Maine Wire’s reporting, has received roughly $25 million in taxpayer funding via Medicaid. This is essentially a taxpayer-funded drug dealing operation at the heart of Bangor, Maine. We will continue to investigate this organization, its enablers, and the employees who appeared to be accessories after the fact rather than Good Samaritans,”
