The lawsuit accused Henyard, her boyfriend, and others of aggression toward plaintiff Jedidiah Brown in some fashion.
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 Tuesday night. Jermont Terry reports.
