FRYEBURG, Maine — Teamsters Local 340's business agent wants the public to put pressure on Fryeburg town officials to come to a decision about the police chief they put on leave in May.

Police Chief Joshua Potvin was put on paid administrative leave May 18 for unknown reasons — but which may have started with a complaint the union filed. Potvin, 43, was hired as chief in 2014. Fryeburg Police Lt. Mike McAllister has been acting chief since Potvin went on leave.

Just catching up on the news re: the former chief. So, the union, not the people of Fryeburg, determine this man's career in Fryeburg? This doesn't pass the smell test.
