This can include failing to produce documents, records, or other evidence requested by an investigator or failing to make oneself available for an interview or interrogation. There are three types of Maine Failure to Provide Evidence to Investigators: refusing to provide evidence, providing false evidence, and not providing evidence in a timely manner. Refusing to provide evidence is when a person willfully and knowingly fails to provide evidence upon request.

Not providing evidence in a timely manner is when a person fails to provide evidence within the time frame specified by the investigator.
