Mayor Tiffany Henyard of Dolton Village in Illinois became the center of a wild brawl during a town board meeting after an activist called her a derogatory term. The video captured the chaos as Henyard’s boyfriend charged at the activist, triggering a full-blown melee. In a surprising move, Henyard herself got involved in the fight by throwing herself into the brawl.
Eyewitnesses expressed shock at seeing a politician getting physically involved in such a violent manner. The incident resulted in television monitors being smashed and caused general chaos within the meeting. No arrests were made, but the situation escalated following a tense meeting regarding Henyard’s boyfriend’s role in the at-risk youth program.
Henyard had been facing multiple controversies recently, including losing a Democratic nomination, being found in contempt of court for delaying liquor licenses, and being accused of political retaliation. Her attorney blamed the situation on false accusations and misinformation being spread about the mayor on social media.
It remains unclear if anyone was injured during the brawl, and further investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of the situation. The South Holland Police Department and Thornton Township’s office have been contacted for comments but have not responded at this time.
