FRYEBURG, Maine — A letter to the state's attorney general's office from a lawyer representing former Fryeburg police chief Joshua Potvin says Potvin decided fighting to "clear his name" wasn't worth the cost since he was already planning to retire from law enforcement. 

The Maine Criminal Justice Academy on May 4 revoked Potvin's police certification after finding he had created a false call for service to justify leaving a selectmen's meeting last year.
