Thornton Township fires Tiffany Henyard's boyfriend and another employee after meeting brawl

The Thornton Township Board on Thursday fired two township employees after a brawl that broke out at the last township board meeting last week.

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.

Woods and Moore were both suspended for work performance before the township brawl. The night of the brawl, the newest trustee, Stephanie Wiedeman, made a motion to put both Woods and Moore on administrative leave, which was approved.

The brawl started after the public comments portion of the township board meeting a week ago Tuesday night. The last to offer public comments was Jedidiah Brown, who made a lengthy harangue directed at Henyard that ended with his calling Henyard a "b****."
