In 2019, Officer Nicholas Meserve, a 10-year veteran of the Lewiston Police Department, was found deceased from an apparent drug overdose. Investigations revealed that Meserve had been a regular user of illegal drugs, often stealing evidence to support his habit. His misconduct led to the dismissal of charges in cases he was involved in, including a 2019 traffic stop where he pocketed fentanyl during an arrest.
