State police say no one will face any charges over what they may or may have know about Robert Carlson’s abusive behavior before he killed himself.

Eight months after his death, State police released a final report on the case Wednesday.

Spokesperson Steve McCausland says the report will not be turned over to prosecutors because no one interviewed for it, law enforcement or otherwise, committed any crimes.

Penobscot County District Attorney Chris Almy, someone who could review the case and pursue charges, says he has not read the Carlson report, so he can’t speak specifically about it.
