On August 31, 2023, Deputy Conhartoski, also a Hurley City Council member, entered the Hurley city building in full uniform to discuss his water bill. Upon learning that the city no longer offered credits, he became enraged, loudly stating, ‘I don’t f***ing agree with this policy,’ and continued to argue with city workers, causing them to feel nervous and intimidated. Later that day, he confronted Mayor Joanne Bruneau at her residence, using profane language and threatening to call a closed session regarding the city employees. In November 2023, he was charged with two counts of misdemeanor disorderly conduct by Ashland Police. Each charge carries potential penalties of up to $1,000 in fines or 90 days in jail.
