Bibliophilia
University of Maine Public Safety officers responded Wednesday evening to a call from Fogler Library patrons who reported a boy exposing himself. Officers interviewed a 14-year-old boy and his parents, but no charges were filed. “I’ve reviewed the case personally, and I don’t believe there is any concern for public safety,” said Chief of Public Safety Noel March. Contrary to other media reports, the teen was not still exposed when police arrived, March said.
