Ben Dover-

Cote is mad because years ago he was not awarded a bid to train a team of fire department divers. Then he was investigated by DEM for improper disposal of hazardous waste. That infuriated him further. He had those records expunged as its been several years. Mr, Cote is upset that he has not been able to BULLY the city counsel with his vile language and personal attacks for many years. Cote himself told city counsel he personally euthanized hundreds of animals in his own yard, not sure what further proof you need.

Regarding the funeral, that was true. He was there. He already admitted he was there. he sent the pictures over to Stacia Huyler to post on Warwick watch before the funeral was even over. What motive does a grieving family have to make that up? Considering he admitted it, its a mute point.

The fact that some politicians lie and the fact that Mr Cote may have been right about something at some point does not excuse his behavior, In this very thread he joked about eating the balls of the animals he killed. He also, once again, attacked the family of the man who passed away- a family who had absolutely nothing to do with him prior to this interaction. Being a city "watch dog" does not give him the license to treat people this way without repercussion. Mr. Cote does not make up his own rules. He is the first one to attack someone but when called upon to take accountability for his actions he hides behind his daughters.

He is a terrible human being and there is no excuse for what he has done. None.

Please see the link below for the press release regarding Mr Cotes now expunged arrest:

Here is a direct quote to that article:

Subsequent lab tests indicated that there was at least 20 and perhaps as much as 30 gallons of gasoline in the septic system, enough to pose a significant danger of a major explosion. Leo noted that if the fumes had backed up overnight in the pipes and vents associated with the septic system, the result could have been disastrous.
