福克斯新闻撰稿人比尔·麦古恩与主持人布莱恩·基尔米德分析最新民调数据，显示缅因州参议院席位竞争在苏珊·柯林斯与特洛伊·杰克逊之间陷入胶着。8月接受调查的登记选民将通胀与高物价列为首要议题，占比32%，其次是边境安全问题。

缅因州民主党参议院候选人特洛伊·杰克逊向福克斯新闻数字频道承认，近四十年前他曾与另一男子发生打斗，参议院共和党人随后对新曝光的描述此次暴力对峙的警方报告作出回应。
“近40年前，我19岁时，曾与另一名男子发生打斗。我当时就承担了责任，现在我依然承担责任，”杰克逊告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“但我要明确说明：我从未对我的伴侣拉娜或其他任何女性使用过暴力，”杰克逊补充道，“这起事件发生在近四十年前，我向缅因州民众保证，这起事件绝不能反映如今的我，以及此后多年我所过的生活。”

全国共和党参议员委员会（NRSC）呼吁民主党人就该报告谴责杰克逊，后者正竞选击败共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯，这场竞选可能决定参议院的控制权归属。
“令人作呕、不可原谅，”全国共和党参议员委员会在X平台的帖子中写道，“特洛伊·杰克逊暴力、精神失常，根本不配进入参议院。”
该委员会还在提及这起1988年事件的帖子中点名了数位参议院民主党人，包括罗德岛州民主党参议员谢尔顿·怀特豪斯、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默、纽约州民主党参议员柯尔斯滕·吉利布兰德、康涅狄格州民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲、亚利桑那州民主党参议员鲁本·加列戈以及马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦。
该委员会还点名了佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯、前北卡罗来纳州州长罗伊·库珀以及前俄亥俄州民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗。
《班戈每日新闻》最先获取并报道了这份1988年的肯特堡警察局报告，该媒体称报告描述了杰克逊在肯特堡一处住宅内破门并殴打一名男子的经过。
根据该报对警方报告和一份手写证人证词的叙述，杰克逊于1988年3月12日凌晨两点前不久前往该住宅。在一名住户要求他离开后，杰克逊据称“踹开了房门”。

根据该报对相关记录的叙述，杰克逊随后 allegedly 掐住该男子的喉咙并挥拳殴打，打碎了对方的眼镜，划破了他的脸部。证人称杰克逊警告该男子“离拉娜·佩尔蒂埃远点，否则有你好看”。
据《班戈每日新闻》报道，警方报告还提到，杰克逊的长期伴侣佩尔蒂埃告诉一名警官，对峙结束后杰克逊推了她，她打算申请“禁止骚扰令”。
佩尔蒂埃随后向福克斯新闻数字频道发表声明，驳斥了这一说法。
“我不记得说过那些被安在我头上的话，那些话并不属实。这是我第一次看到这份40年前的报告，”佩尔蒂埃说，“特洛伊和我一起建立了家庭，我了解他这几十年来的为人，他既是一位体贴的伴侣，也是一位父亲。”

《班戈每日新闻》报道称，未找到佩尔蒂埃曾申请此类禁令的记录。
一份留存的法庭摘要显示，杰克逊曾达成协议支付该男子50美元以了结此案，据该报报道。该 underlying 法庭文件后来根据该州的档案留存时间表被销毁。
《班戈每日新闻》还报道称，其背景调查发现杰克逊没有犯罪记录，1988年的案件是其唯一被查到的涉刑案件。
福克斯新闻数字频道已多次尝试独立获取原始记录，并联系了肯特堡警察局和地区法院，要求获取原始警方报告。福克斯新闻数字频道还通过缅因州州级犯罪背景调查系统提交了申请，但未找到可查看的对应结果。
肯特堡警察局周四下午回应了福克斯新闻数字频道的请求，称该镇已“就这些文件是否可以公开征询了律师意见”。
此次争议爆发前不久，杰克逊在格雷厄姆·普拉特纳出师不利的竞选活动崩塌后，获得了民主党提名，将挑战柯林斯。

Dem Senate nominee admits ‘I take responsibility’ after police report alleges he broke down door, punched man
2026-08-13T16:15:01-04:00 / Fox News
The NRSC tagged Senate Democrats, including Schumer and Warren, demanding they condemn Jackson over the 1988 report

Fox News contributor Bill McGurn and host Brian Kilmeade analyze new polling data revealing a dead-heat Maine Senate race between Susan Collins and Troy Jackson. Registered voters surveyed in August rank inflation and high prices as their top issue at 32%, followed by border security.

Maine Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson acknowledged to Fox News Digital that he got into a fight with another man nearly four decades ago, and Senate Republicans reacted to a newly surfaced police report detailing the violent confrontation.
“Nearly 40 years ago, when I was 19 years old, I got into a fight with another man. I took responsibility for it then, and I take responsibility for it now,” Jackson told Fox News Digital.
“But let me be clear: I have never been violent with my partner Lana, or any other woman,” Jackson added. “This happened nearly four decades ago, and I assure Mainers this incident in no way reflects the man I am today or the life I’ve led in the years since.”

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is calling on Democrats to condemn Jackson over the report as he campaigns to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins in a race that could help determine control of the Senate.
“Disgusting and inexcusable,” the NRSC wrote in a post on X. “Troy Jackson is violent, unhinged, and has no place in the Senate.”
The NRSC also tagged a handful of Senate Democrats in posts specifically mentioning the 1988 incident, including Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.; Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; Chris Murphy, D-Conn.; Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz.; and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
The NRSC also tagged Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper; and former Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.
The Bangor Daily News first obtained and reported on the 1988 Fort Kent Police Department report, which the outlet said describes Jackson breaking down a door and punching a man at a Fort Kent home.
According to the newspaper’s account of the police report and a handwritten witness statement, Jackson went to the home shortly before 2 a.m. March 12, 1988. After an occupant told him to leave, Jackson allegedly “kicked the door in.”

Jackson then allegedly grabbed the man by the throat and swung at him, striking his glasses and cutting his face, according to the BDN’s account of the records. The witness said Jackson warned the man to “stay away from Lana Pelletier or else.”
The police report also notes Pelletier, Jackson’s longtime partner, told an officer that Jackson had pushed her after the confrontation and that she planned to seek “cease harassment papers,” according to the BDN.
Pelletier disputed that account in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“I do not remember making the statements attributed to me, and they are not accurate. This is the first time I have seen this report from 40 years ago,” Pelletier said. “Troy and I have built a life and family together, and I know the person he has been through the decades since, both as a caring partner and father.”

The BDN reported that it found no record Pelletier ever sought such an order.
A surviving court summary shows Jackson entered into an agreement to pay the man $50 to resolve the case, according to the BDN. The newspaper reported that the underlying court file has since been destroyed under the state’s records-retention schedule.
The BDN also reported that its background check found Jackson does not have a criminal record and that the 1988 case was the only criminal case it located involving him.
Fox News Digital has made multiple attempts to independently obtain the underlying records and contacted the Fort Kent Police Department and District Court seeking the original police report. Fox News Digital additionally submitted a request through Maine’s state criminal background check system, finding no viewable corresponding results.
The Fort Kent Police Department responded to Fox News Digital’s request Thursday afternoon, saying the town has “sought advice from its attorneys as to whether the documents can be released.”
The controversy comes shortly after Jackson secured the Democratic nomination to challenge Collins following the collapse of Graham Platner’s ill-fated campaign.
