The sergeant who was criticized for his handling of the Lewiston shooter is running for sheriff

Sgt. Aaron Skolfield is running for Sagadahoc County Sheriff. He was criticized for his handling of Robert Card, who would later commit the deadliest mass shooting in Maine history. He is now running for the position despite criticism for his actions in the shooting.

Commission: Sheriff had cause to take Lewiston gunman into custody 6 weeks before shootings. Independent report: It was an "abdication of law enforcement's responsibility" when they chose to rely on Robert Card's family to remove his guns. Report: Sheriff should have taken Card's guns away from him 6 weeks prior to shootings.
