A former longtime New York village mayor is at the center of explosive allegations involving workplace misconduct, racist rants and drug use.

The allegations against Peter Imbert, 65, have rocked the small village of Amityville on Long Island, where he was mayor for 16 years from 1997 to 2013 while also acting as head of metals producer RCI Industries .

Former employee Ralph Guarino, 39, alleges Imbert pressured his staff to take THC edibles and made racist remarks while he was head of the company, in a lawsuit filed with the Human Rights Division from New York State.

Among the disturbing comments, Gaurino claims Imbert once told him, “whites should stick with whites and blacks should stick with blacks.”

Gaurino claims Imbert also created a hostile and degrading environment for his employees at RCI and says he was forced to perform menial tasks that included cleaning up after his boss’s dogs and guinea pigs.

The lawsuit paints a picture of a workplace governed by fear and intimidation, with Imbert allegedly using his position of power to manipulate and degrade his employees.

Among the more unusual instructions Guarino claims he was forced to take was to “break glass, buy antifreeze and cat food” so Imbert could poison stray cats in the area.

Guarino claims he was also invited to watch his teenage girls in bikinis swimming in the pool on his property and shooting geese.

Imbert is also alleged to have kept a secret room stocked with “illegal weapons,” including AK-47s and AR-15s.

Among the accusations, Guarino also accuses Imbert of ordering him to perform both bizarre and degrading tasks.

These include tending to his marijuana plants while performing basic housekeeping duties, including keeping a stock of vape pens, beer, bottled water, shampoo and toilet paper.

Guarino, a maintenance worker at the firm, was allegedly “summoned” by Imbert to his home every day to “play pool and get stoned” while consuming THC edibles.

“For the last 10 years, I’ve been around him constantly, just ready for him to come through,” Guarino said. New York Post.

“For two years, every day, I did everything he wanted. I’m afraid of the guy. He once told me he had “No one to answer to but God.”

Guarino claims he was the only person in Imbert’s company who was given such duties which he claims saw him subjected to alleged misconduct and humiliation.

He claims how Imbert would sound about his shaky sex life with his wife Diane, and that his own father never liked his wife after she refused to play when he jokingly grabbed her bottom.
