“I am aware that an employee of the City of Bridgeport made a complaint to human resources. The complaint stems from me having to have a private discussion with our City Manager. During the lead up to my conversation with the City Manager, I used some profanity. Upon learning of this complaint, I contacted Chief Mark Rogers. He suggested that the complaint should be addressed by an outside law enforcement agency. I agreed. Thereafter the WVSP were notified and I immediately cooperated with the WVSP’s investigation. Part of my cooperation included speaking, voluntarily, to the investigating trooper and suggesting that certain surveillance cameras be reviewed. I have since apologized to the city employees who were present when I used profanities.”
