"A resident of Cumberland, McMichael will succeed Marcel Fontenault, who served as acting chief since last May when former Mayor Scott Avedisian resigned to become the president and CEO of the Rhode Island Transit Authority and, within days, James McLaughlin retired as chief."

"Within days"

Knowing what we know now about unratified side deals Fontenaults retirement makes a lot of sense. I wonder if Chief Fontenault has been interviewed by the FBI.

Good luck to the new Chief and the department.
