According to a report by NBC Chicago, the fight commenced when an activist called Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard a derogatory expletive that rhymes with the word “itch”. With Mayor Henyard’s boyfriend Kamal Woods in attendance, the insult did not go over well and sparked immediate action from him. In the chaos, punches were thrown and televisions were broken. Some in the crowd found themselves crawling over tables to get to the fight.

What Happened

The brawl comes after a months-long standstill in which the board and Mayor Henyard failed to meet, with each party not attending meetings set by the other. With the parties finally meeting Tuesday, tensions were high, but it was welcomed with applause by the townspeople. Some had felt nothing was getting done, and the financial stability of the town has been called into question.

As the meeting got underway, the board announced that effective immediately, William Moore, an employee, and Kamal Woods, head of the town’s at-risk youth program and Henyard’s boyfriend, were on paid administrative leave. Although the reasons were not specified, this comes after years of accusations by the board that Mayor Henyard has mismanaged the town’s funds and engaged in nepotism. The parties have been to court many times since Henyard was elected four years ago. Only a month into Henyard’s term, the board initiated a recall to remove her from office but the attempt ultimately failed in court, as has other successive attempts.

The drama started after the announcement that Woods would be put on leave, and the meeting devolved from there, ultimately leading to the moment an activist called Henyard an expletive. This meeting was streamed and also attended in person by the public, who was shocked to witness this unfold. An eyewitness named Gerald Williams said, “It should have never come to blows, and Tiffany should have never got involved.” There were no reported arrests.

The Takeway

A fight broke out at the most recent Dolton board meeting, and it involved Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard and her boyfriend Kamal Woods. An activist called her a disrespectful name, and chaos broke out, as it would with any woman’s significant other in the room at the moment. There are no reported arrests. The tension between the board and Mayor Henyard remains high, and the board’s move to put Woods on leave doesn’t help. This saga isn’t over, and there will be more updates coming soon.
