Plymouth Police Chief Michael Botieri told Town Manager Melissa Arrighi on her YouTube show “Truth Be Told” that after 36 years on the force, he plans to retire in the “next month, maybe two at the most, I’ll be gone by summer for sure.” Botieri talks about his retirement at approximately minute 22 of the video posted below.
“My grandmother said I could have the ring when I got married, and it’s one of those things, my grandmother and I were best friends, so it’s just a piece of her that was always going to be with me that now I don’t have,” said Shari Kimball-Hill.
The 20 year old driver charged with driving under influence after a late night Saturday crash which required one of his passengers to be airlifted to the hospital, is now the co-beneficiary of a GoFundMe effort which has raised over $45,000.
As of noon Friday, the GoFundMe description states that the men “were recently in a traumatic car accident” but does not mention that the driver, Austin Budrow, faces charges related to the accident for “negligent driving and driving under the influence of alcohol” according to Plymouth Wicked Local.
