Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a sign posted outside a Biddeford apartment building by its owner, Ralph Toussaint, asking the public to help rid the building of drug dealers. The Maine Civil Liberties Union questions the wisdom of such vigilante-type activism, and Biddeford police chief Roger Beaupre said the sign has hampered, not helped, a crackdown on drug dealing by scaring off two tenants just as police were preparing to arrest them. With special focus on Randy Parenteau, who on Jan. 13 was found dead in the building from an overdose of morphine and methadone.
