The former Arnold police chief, Eric David Doutt, faces serious allegations as he's been charged with drug-related offenses. After his arrest by the Attorney General’s Office, Doutt, 56, was unable to post the $250,000 bail and is now in custody at the Armstrong County Jail. While details are still emerging, WPXI is tirelessly working to unearth further information from the criminal complaint regarding the arrest.
In a separate but related report, CBS News has disclosed that the ex-chief is accused of dealing cocaine on several occasions. The criminal complaint details that Doutt sold cocaine to a confidential informant multiple times. This informant, who was collaborating with the Pennsylvania State Attorney General's Office, facilitated three drug transactions recently arranged by agents. However, an exact timeline of these dealings has not been officially disclosed.
Each drug purchase reportedly occurred in the Kittanning area, where cocaine was exchanged for money. The specifics of these transactions and Doutt's involvement are expected to be a focal point in the charges he's facing.
