PAUL POLLARD’S STOLEN FIREARMS AND DYNAMITE FROM BURGLARIES

Cormier’s file also contained a report on stolen “firearms and dynamite.” It was a report on an unnamed client. The only way I knew who the perpetrator of the burglaries were was from hearing Cormier's attorney question Paul Pollard’s attorney, Marvin Glazier,  about the incident and the attorney's involvement in helping Pollard get rid of the firearms and dynamite. The report states:
“On 1-28-82 at 1615 hours, Attorney Marvin Glazier contacted this investigator [Bangor Police Detective Lt. Roger Bryce] and stated that he had been in contact with the District Attorney David Cox in reference to an unnamed client who had been involved in some burglaries in the past who wished to relinquish some guns that were taken in those burglaries. Attorney Glazier stated that District Attorney [David] Cox had indicated that this arrangement would be adequate. Attorney Glazier indicted that he was unsure of when the property would be turned over to him, but he would make contact with this investigator [Bryce] when he received the property.

On 1-29-82 Attorney Glazier came to the police station and told this investigator [Bryce] that the stolen property was in the back of his car out front. This investigator [Bryce], Det. John Welch [Detective who asked Sharon Sargent if Mike was shot], and Sgt. Stockford went to the vehicle to retrieve the two packages and brought them into the station where the packages were opened. The long package carried by Det. Welch and Sgt. Stockford contained rifles, and shotguns. The smaller box carried by this investigator [Bryce] contained deteriorating dynamite.

At approximately 0830 hours on 1-29-82 this investigator [Bryce] was called by Det. Placella while I was at the District Attorney's [Cox] Office. Det. Placella stated that there was a case of crystalized dynamite in the Detective Division. This investigator [Bryce] went to the Detective Division and observed a wooden box of dynamite (sitting in a cardboard box) on the floor of the division near the back door. One of the slats had been removed from the top of the box and this investigator [Bryce] observed dynamite sticks which had started to crystalize.

This investigator [Bryce] immediately ordered the station evacuated. After the building was secured and Officer O'Halloran was notified and enroute, this investigator [Bryce] enlisted the aid of Sgt. Stockford. Together, we brought the bomb basket and also tried to take pictures of the dynamite. Officer O'Halloran arrived and started loading all our demolition equipment into the department's pickup truck. This investigator [Bryce] loaded the box of dynamite into the bomb basket and Sgt. Stockford and I placed the basket into the pick-up. Officer O'Halloran and I secured the basket. Officer O'Halloran and this investigator [Bryce] safely transported the dynamite to the Bangor dump (with the aid of Sgt. Goodall and Off. Latacz who escorted us. This investigator [Bryce] asked for an ambulance to stand by [sounds serious] and a camera. Pictures were taken and the dynamite was exploded. The dynamite went "high order".
These documents say that Bangor Attorney Marvin Glazier made an arrangement with Penobscot County DA David Cox to allow an unnamed client to transfer a load of rifles, shotguns and dynamite, stolen during burglaries, across three state lines (Massachusetts, New Hampshire and two hundred miles across Maine) and dump them at the Bangor Police Department with no consequences. In Pollard’s February 12, 1985 Massachusetts statement he told Shuman about guns being stored in his apartment in Boston, Massachusetts. “[A]round New Years of 1982 I called Owen and told him about the guns. Owen told me to get rid of the stuff. I called my lawyer, Marvin Glazier he said to deliver the stuff to him and he would give it to the police.”

As I read the documents I thought about DA Cox finding Mike's parents in default for the bonds we had on our dead son. Three months after Mike's murder, DA Cox would have thrown us out of our home if the Maine Chapter of the ACLU hadn’t stepped in and appointed an attorney to represent us.

Owen Pollard took responsibility for transporting the stolen rifles, shotguns and dynamite to Bangor PD.  He also took responsibility for helping Pollard when he fled the State of Maine after he, Lionel Cormier and Percy Sargent murdered Mike.

To what extent would District Attorney David Cox and Maine State Police Detective Shuman go to protect Paul Pollard? And how many attorneys’ would get involved in helping a client get rid of stolen rifles, shotguns and dynamite? What type of service would that come under? How much would an attorney charge for getting involved in helping a client cover up his crime of stealing rifles, shotguns and dynamite during burglaries?

If I hadn't heard Attorney Glazier testify in court during his voir dire as to who brought the firearms, rifles and dynamite to him, I wouldn't have known the unnamed client was Paul Pollard because neither Paul Pollard nor Owen Pollard are named anywhere in the four page report.
