FRYEBURG, Maine — The police chief who was hired in December was not actually a certified officer, it was revealed Wednesday.

Aaron Mick of Wilton, Maine, replaced Joshua Potvin, who resigned at the end of July. Mick, who was chief in Dixfield, Maine, started Dec. 4. Potvin was placed on paid administrative leave May 18. The reasons are unclear but reportedly started with a complaint by Teamsters Local 340.

The chief may be able to get certified rather easily but the bigger questions remains: What is wrong with the people who run Fryeburg? They can't seem to get things right when it comes to policing.
