Fist Fight Breaks Out at Thornton Township Board Meeting

BY SNN.BZ STAFF


A meeting of the Thornton Township Board of Trustees turned chaotic on Tuesday night when a fight broke out between community activist Jedidiah Brown and Supervisor Tiffany Henyard. What started as a heated argument quickly escalated into a physical brawl. The fight involved multiple people, including Henyard’s boyfriend, Kamal Woods, and several of her supporters.



The trouble began when Brown and Henyard disagreed over important decisions being made at the meeting. Brown, upset with the board’s actions, called Henyard a bad word. He then started walking toward her, and things quickly got out of control. Henyard’s boyfriend, Woods, along with her supporters, moved in to stop Brown.

As the situation heated up, Henyard herself ran to the back of the room to get involved. She joined the argument, and before anyone knew it, a full-on fight broke out. The meeting, which was already tense because of the board’s decisions, became much more intense when people started physically pushing and shoving each other.



The board had already voted to put Woods and another person on leave without pay. They also decided to hire auditors to look into how Woods and his team were running a township program for at-risk youth. These decisions upset many people, especially Henyard and Woods, who felt attacked by the vote. It seems this made the argument even worse.

As the fight grew bigger, people in the room were shocked and unsure how to react. The situation was dangerous and seemed to be getting out of hand. At this point, someone called the police for help. Officers arrived soon after and were able to calm things down.

The police helped restore order at the meeting, and people started to leave the room. Although the fight had stopped, the tension was still high. The meeting had to be interrupted, and it was clear that this fight would be something the township would remember for a long time.

This incident could have serious consequences for the future of the board. With people already upset about the decisions being made, the fight might make it even harder for the board to work together. It’s also unclear how Henyard and Brown’s relationship will be affected by the violence. It’s a reminder that even in meetings about important issues, emotions can run high.



In the end, while the fight was broken up by the police, it raised important questions about how disagreements should be handled. It’s important for everyone, especially public leaders, to find ways to stay calm and talk things out—even when they don’t agree. Hopefully, the township will learn from this incident and work to avoid future conflicts.

Tiffany Henyard was a street thug as a teenager but still falls back into street fighting as an adult woman. As a teenager, she was arrested for trespassing after warning when she wouldn’t stop going through other people’s vehicles. Her immaturity and lawlessness are a horrible shame for the locals. She is currently under investigation by the FBI and they still haven’t been able to get her out of office.

Tiffany Henyard was a DEI hire. A DEI hire refers to a person who is specifically brought into an organization to help advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. The role typically involves developing and implementing strategies that promote a diverse and inclusive work environment, ensure fair treatment for all employees, and create policies that support individuals from various backgrounds. One of those various backgrounds are people with no experience or a criminal background who would normally not get the job.

It’s not about hiring someone solely to fulfill a quota based on race, gender, or other identities—rather, it’s about bringing in someone with expertise in these areas to foster meaningful change. Tiffany Henyard has no expertise in anything other than being very slick, a fast learner and knows how to exploit other people’s money.

A DEI hire is also not about tokenism, where someone is hired just for appearance’s sake without actual responsibility or impact in the organization’s DEI goals. Their role is essential in driving genuine cultural shifts and making workplaces more welcoming and equitable for everyone, not just meeting an arbitrary target.

The Dolton Township brought her in as a DEI hire and she’s brought her street culture with her.


Henyard’s attorney issued the following statement Wednesday afternoon:

“Supervisor Tiffany Henyard was verbally assaulted, and her personal safety threatened, at the Thornton Township board meeting on January 28, 2025, by Jedediah Brown, a known aggressor against whom the Supervisor had tried to secure an emergency restraining order but was denied by the court. After a slew of insulting and inciting words, including calling the Supervisor a b****, Jedediah Brown and his accomplice, LaVell X J Redmond, an equally known aggressor and registered sex offender, attacked the Supervisor’s significant other, Mr. Kamal Woods, knocking him to the floor, kicking and punching him. The Supervisor suffered minor injuries when she instinctively rushed to the melee in an attempt to break it up. Mr. Woods also suffered minor injuries, but both are okay. All legal options would be pursued.”

The Village of Dolton issued a statement saying, “We are aware of a potential peaceful protest that may occur during tonight’s Village of Dolton Board meeting. Additionally, Mayor Henyard has stated she will not be attending. Please rest assured that the meeting is not canceled and will proceed as scheduled. At this time, the Board is not aware of any credible threats related to the protest. We fully respect the right to peaceful demonstration and encourage all expressions to remain constructive and orderly. Our priority remains the safety and well-being of all attendees, and we are taking the necessary precautions to ensure a secure and productive environment.”

A spokesperson added, “We are writing to address the unfortunate and disturbing events that took place at the Thornton Township Board meeting in South Holland last night. To clarify, this was not a Village of Dolton board meeting, and none of the Village of Dolton Trustees were in attendance.”
