This came nine days after a brawl in which Henyard's boyfriend and Henyard herself were involved. But Henyard's boyfriend, Kamal Woods, had already been suspended for work performance.

A heated altercation broke out during a public meeting in Dolton, Illinois, involving controversial Mayor Tiffany Henyard.

The meeting is also the first since an independent investigation​ found widespread financial mismanagement in the troubled south suburb.

After activist Jedidiah Brown referred to Henyard as a "b****," residents started to fight to defend her when her boyfriend threw punches.

CBS2 reports that a member of the public took Supervisor Tiffany Henyard to task and used an expletive, sparking a brawl at Tuesday's meeting.

South Holland police ultimately had to clear out trustees, neighbors, and the news media after allies and critics of Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard let their fists speak for them.

At the meeting, the board fired two township employees. As Jermont Terry reports, one of the workers the trustees fired was Kamal Woods, the boyfriend of Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard.

Thornton Township Trustee Stephanie Wiedeman moved to fire Henyard’s boyfriend Kamal Woods, who was hired by Henyard to run the township’s youth program. This came after he was involved in a brawl during a meeting last week.

During the brawl, Supervisor Tiffany Henyard herself ran from her seat at the table in the front of the room to intervene.

One of the workers the trustees fired was Kamal Woods, the boyfriend of Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard. Woods ran the youth township program. Also fired was William Moore, also a Henyard ally.
