After the comment was directed towards her by activist Jedidiah Brown, Henyard’s boyfriend, Kamal Woods, confronted the man, causing the scuffle to break out, according to FOX32. Henyard, who also holds the position of Mayor of Dolton, reportedly pushed her table to one side and rushed to the back of the room where she allegedly got involved in the brawl, the outlet reported.
Security officers swiftly broke up the squabble and police arrived and at least one person was escorted out, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Police said they had not made any arrests after the incident. This week’s incident was caught on video and shows numerous attendees joining the altercation as few bystanders attempt to break it up. The Independent has contacted Heynard’s office for comment.
Her lawyers said on Tuesday that Heynard had been “verbally assaulted, and her personal safety threatened” at the meeting. On Wednesday morning, trustees issued the following comments about the incident: “We are deeply disturbed by the events that transpired during last night’s board meeting.”.
“As public officials, we are entrusted with leading through professionalism, integrity and respect. What began as a productive discussion on critical community matters descended into chaos and violence, behavior that has no place in Thornton Township and will not be tolerated.”.
