State Police Strongly Deny Racial Profiling Allegation

Maine State Police are strongly denying an allegation of racial profiling made by a Waldo County man. Check it out for yourself.

The incident happened Jan. 7 on Main Street in Liberty as Orson Titus, who goes by the name of Toussaint St. Negritude, walking on the side of the road.  Titus told the Belfast City Council last week he feels he's the victim of racial profiling.  He claims a Maine State Police trooper held him for half an hour, asking him the same questions repeatedly.

State Police took to Facebook, strongly denying the allegation. They also posted a dashcam video of the encounter, which only lasts 5 minutes. (WGME)
