[Excerpts] ...The timing of the administrative leave coincides with an altercation between [Kennebunk Police Officer Joshua] Morneau and his girlfriend's ex-husband at a health center in Saco. Morneau, 27, has had a protection-from-harassment order against Patrick Donahue, 27, for the past year, since an altercation at Morneau's former home in Kennebunk. Saco Police Chief Brad Paul would say little about the investigation into the altercation... Morneau has sought an extension of the protection order against Donahue and has filed a description of the incident July 20 in support of it. Donahue also has filed for a protection order, with a somewhat different version of the same incident... Morneau says Donahue was threatening and, after Morneau called police to report the incident, Donahue attacked him. Morneau says he subdued Donahue and held him until police arrived. Donahue says Morneau identified himself when reporting the incident as an off-duty police officer who was reporting someone violating a protection order. Morneau did not indicate that he was a party to the dispute, Donahue says. He says it was Morneau who then attacked him. In his application, Donahue noted that Morneau was under investigation for the shooting of a Kennebunk woman and said he is in fear of him. On Tuesday, however, the Attorney General's office ruled that Morneau was justified in using deadly force in that situation... [Full article here]

  1. Many of people have had run ins with Morneau. He is a danger and should not be carrying a fire arm. 4 times with deadly force? Sounds like target practice. Why didn't he use his tazer? The 8 inch knife now has extended to 13.5 inches? Because it is considered more of a weapon. This kid has the taste of blood. Killer Morneau to the rescue. Wow adding to Stalking Burpee and that sounds like the best tag team in the planet.
