Maine town offers bounty on drug pushers to deter crime
In Belfast Maine a 6100 resident community launched a drug bounty scheme to reward informers who buy drugs under official scrutiny and testify against sellers. The plan, backed by deputy Harold Higgins and local business leaders, aims to deter peddlers though no decoy volunteers have emerged yet. Local officials question legality and risk of vigilantism, while supporters argue it could disrupt drug networks and prompt broader police action.
