Although town officials deny the allegation, they acknowledged that Bilodeau’s complaint was investigated by the county sheriff’s department and that Michael was forced to apologize for his conduct. He claims that he was denied training opportunities and called names and that police officers stopped responding to his calls in the field. Both the town and Bilodeau have asked for a jury trial, and jury selection is scheduled for later this summer. Bilodeau and Michael are still employed by the town. Michael is now a police lieutenant.
