     Providence Police Chief Dean Esserman is making news once again.
     He is now accused of trying to break the rules at T.F. Green Airport.
     Federal officials are trying to find out if the chief tried to skirt a security checkpoint.
     A TSA spokesperson says last Wednesday an airport police officer walked Esserman around a security checkpoint, but the guards stopped them.
     Esserman then agreed to go back through the checkpoint.
     The chief was not armed at the time and he has not been charged with any crime.
     ABC 6 special correspondent Buddy Cianci says is isn't the first time the chief has tried this...

Keep it up Buddy, Esserman is an arrogant man who needs to go. I voted for Ciciline , but he clearly has no clue.

More drama from the R.I media, what a surprise. They want you think that Esserman came running and vaulted over the security check point with his tie flapping in the wind. He was escorted by airport police to where he had to go. How tragic an event ! More fuel for the feeble minded Rhode Island band wagon jumpers. Maybe we can hear about the dirty windows at the police station next. I can't wait. Good old Rhode Island cry babies,gota love it. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !

Buddy talking about "arrogance of power"? What's this Buddy, do as I say, not as I do? Buddy's the reason why Ch. 6 is losing viewers. Wake up ABC!!!

Let us see the proof instead of alligations...I want to see the film of him cutting the line...The "Former Mayor" is out of Federal Prison and now is stirring to pot because he ALWAYS had and still has to be in the spot light.
