Message on Bangor school wall prompts investigation

Police do not believe the message to be credible, but a uniformed officer would be posted at the school Monday.

BANGOR, Maine — An investigation is underway after a "negative” message was found written on a bathroom wall at a middle school in Bangor.

According to a safety notice sent to the community Sunday from the Bangor School Department's phone app, the message was discovered on a bathroom wall at James F. Doughty School on Friday. 

The notice said school administration staff were working with police and that officers with the Bangor Police Department would be at the school Monday to finish their investigation into who wrote the message.

The message is not believed to be credible, Bangor Public Information Officer Sgt. Wade Betters said, but a uniformed officer would be posted at the school Monday out of an abundance of caution.
