City manager Theo Melancon was arrested on a domestic violence charge in January 2022. Unfortunately for him, his predecessor also made controversial headlines surrounding a domestic incident.
In this powerful episode, Melancon gives us a play-by-play recounting of the events that upended his life and nearly ended his career.
We talk about his communication with his elected officials, handling the social media firestorm, and examine how his peers responded and interacted with him once the story broke.
This interview has been broken into two parts.
The planned original discussion about Melancon's battle with his powerful police chief will be presented in the second installment.
