The Hancock County sheriff ended the work of a nonprofit with jail inmates in June because the organization had put out a statement supportive of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The Bangor Daily News reported Tuesday that Sheriff Scott Kane terminated the agreement with Healthy Acadia because of a statement it posted on its website that referenced police brutality and Black Lives Matter.

The nonprofit provided peer mentorship to inmates recovering from addiction.

The newspaper reported that Kane falsely claimed Black Lives Matter is a “terrorist group” that seeks to overthrow the government and kill police officers. It is a view that has also been promoted by a prominent law enforcement training organization but experts say is dangerous and based on inaccurate information.
