As a sign of respect for the service and sacrifice of Somerset County Deputy Sheriff Cpl. Eugene Cole, who was killed in the line of duty Wednesday, April 25, Gov. Paul R. LePage has directed that all United States flags and State of Maine flags shall be flown at half staff immediately for at least three days, as well as on the day of Cole’s interment.
“Our deepest condolences go out to the family of fallen Deputy Sheriff Cpl. Eugene Cole,” said LePage. “He served his community with honor, and his sacrifice will not be forgotten. Our thoughts are also with all of Maine’s law enforcement community as they mourn the loss of their colleague, and we pray for their continued safety.”
