I think he was actually given better treatment then you or I would have received. He was given 2 chances to pour out his drink. Most of us lowly taxpayers would have only been give one chance at the gate leaving.

I hope they throw the book at him. The quicker we are rid of this belligerent idiot the better our city will be.

Let me be clear. I did not say he had a lifestyle illness. You accused him of being a drunk. HE is not a drunk. You have no proof of that. No one does. You keep on making accusations and slandering him and offering no proof. When was he given two chances to pour out the wine. NEVER! Were you there? You didn't respond to that. Are you just hearing things around and making conclusions off things that are clearly not fact. And now you call him a belligerent idiot. Once again why? What has he done? You lowly taxpayer... Should I feel sorry for you now? If you think you are so capable, than why don't you apply for the job and let us see what you are capable of.

The word is that Logsdon wants him out. If the city manager is convicted and loses his driver's license, that could be all the excuse the mayor needs.

How do you know? I am so amazed that so many rumors are put on here. Do you work for the City? Did you go to the last City Council meeting? Are you somehow privy to information that none of the rest of us are?

Concernedreader is getting a little warm. Here's the way it's done. Some people don't associate with people they don't like. However, there are a select few that hang around, smile and listen regardless.

The mayor would be amazed at number of people who think he's an idiot but still hang around him.

Let's see who'll be right. If he loses his drivers license, the word is that he's toast.

Don't worry, he won't lose it. A fine (covered by the next raise) and probation is all. Refusal to take test won't even be charged! Know why? Officers have ignored such stuff for 20 years at certain places, but the boss teed off the department!

I don't think so. They gave him a chance to pour out his glass of wine and go on.
I hope they would give all of us that chance too.
Then big shot started running his mouth instead of doing what he was told.
If my taxes are paying your salary you had better be squeaky clean. My money should not be wasted on a sorry arrogant drunk.

I am curious how do you know everything that you claimed in your post. Were you there? When did they give him a chance to pour out his wine? When exactly did he start throwing his weight around? I read the police report. After they said that they were going to arrest him, he asked if they knew who he was. He was not trying to intimidate him. He had said that they should call Chief Murray. They said Chief Murray would not want to be bothered. CLEARLY the Chief of Police would want to know that the City Manager was being arrested not to prevent but because it is a big deal. Now, onto the slander that you feel so free to throw around. Sorry arrogant drunk. Why? Being an alcoholic is a disease that is a lifestyle. Do you have those details of his life in a way that the mayor and city council do not. Are you somehow aquainted with him that would give you the intimate details of his life that others do not. How dare you slander someone like that. That does not reflect poorly on Mr. McMullen who has handled this situation with dignity but poorly on you. I feel sorry for you because you are missing out on the opportunity to get to know an amazing man.

He absolutely was trying to intimidate them. He clearly thought that by telling them to call the police chief that Murray would get him off the hook.
I think he was given more of a chance to do the right thing then you or I would have been given.
Should we feel sorry for him because of his "lifstyle illness"??? You have to be kidding!

when offered the chance. I know I would had I been in that situation. I've been to a lot of shows at the Fred, never seen any trouble, and I've never seen the Police "looking" for trouble either.
