U.S. Sen. Susan Collins’ house in Bangor was egged last month.
The eggs showed up at Collins’ Bangor home in the early morning hours of Sept. 18, according to a Bangor Police Department report obtained by the Bangor Daily News.
Collins first mentioned the egging during an interview on WVOM. Her husband, Tom Daffron, saw the splattered eggs on the garage door, as well as on the front door, window and porch, she said.
It’s the second report of vandalism at a place Collins lives or works in recent weeks. With just over a month until a pivotal election, someone painted a vulgar message about Collins and President Donald Trump on the doors of her Biddeford office.
The Bangor Police Department has checked on Collins’ home more than 500 times since her 2018 vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to data reviewed by the BDN in August.
“This is another example of harassment against Senator Collins,” the senator’s Chief of Staff Katie Brown said. “Vandalism is unacceptable, and we will not be intimidated.”
There were no eggs visible on the property at 4:45 a.m. that day but they could be seen at 5:10 a.m., according to camera footage reviewed by the Bangor Police Department. No footage of a suspect was captured, the report said.
The Bangor police officer drove through the neighborhood and Collins’ home was the only one that had been egged, the report said.
The report, which redacts the couple’s names, said the man did not want to pursue criminal charges but did want the vandalism documented.
