LePage says Deering student overdose story ‘was not fabricated
Source: Bangor Daily News
Gov. Paul LePage said Monday that he is considering calling on U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to investigate whether Maine schools are being truthful about drug overdoses among students.
LePage’s comment came after days of controversy around previous claims he has made about a Deering High School student overdosing multiple times and being revived with Narcan, an overdose-reversing drug.
“I’m thinking of calling Attorney General Lynch and asking for her investigative arm to come up and look at the school systems in Maine,” said LePage Monday afternoon during MPBN’s Maine Calling radio show. “I think it’s serious enough. I believe it happened.”
Despite Deering High School officials flatly denying LePage’s statements about a student there being revived multiple times, LePage said Monday that he was told the story by a school resource officer and didn’t make it up.
