In January 2019, Officer Philip Pelletier, while on duty at Androscoggin Valley Hospital, took unauthorized photos and videos of a man in psychiatric distress awaiting involuntary admission. He shared these images via Snapchat with fellow officers and at least one civilian. Pelletier pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor privacy violation, received a one-year suspended sentence, a $500 fine, and was required to complete 200 hours of community service. His law enforcement certification was revoked in 2020, and he agreed not to seek recertification.
