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.

On Fri- day, Belmont officers were alerted by Northfield Police that a 2016 BOOGIE MEN Chevrolet Silverado was being tracked by OnStar after being stolen from a Northfield business. Once the vehicle stopped, OnStar gave its location to police and reportedly used a Remote Ignition Block to disable the vehicle from starting again. Police then responded to the Saturday location and found the stolen vehicle parked at a residence on Hur- ricane Road. While searching for the suspect, police spotted a man May 6 attempting to gain access to the residence where the vehicle was 6:00-10:00PM parked. Wartski was arrested and was released on $5,000 personal recognizance bail. $7 in advance Little information on Stoddard killing It has been more than two months since a Sullivan man was $10 at the door shot and killed in Stoddard, with no additional information released on the incident.
