Lupo, the chief said, told him the mayor, city attorney and several residents had all called him about it and said that DeCanio’s job was on the line. Tremblay owns a home nearby.ĭays later, the chief wrote, the city manager confronted him about why the officers were gathered there. Then on April 4, DeCanio wrote, as officers were gathered at the Sand Pebble Pointe Condominiums to respond to a call there, the mayor drove by in the same vehicle and waved. The officer said he had previously warned the mayor that the vehicle wasn’t street legal. In February, according to the chief’s memo, an officer saw Tremblay and Howard driving around in the mayor’s off-road vehicle. He wrote that he did so “due to fears of being terminated because of retaliation against me.” After 21 years on the force - not long enough under state law to qualify for his full pension - Alu took early retirement in March. Lupo told Alu that he constantly watched him, the memo said, and threatened to fire him.
