In a Detroit suburb, a councilwoman is charged with assault and battery after a physical altercation escalates between two elected officials during a council hearing to discuss a variance.
A Councilwoman in the town of Ecorse, a city of 11,000 about 10 miles southwest of Detroit, has been charged with allegedly choking and hitting the mayor during a council meeting.
The near fight broke out during a discussion of "a resident's request for relief from the city's zoning ordinance to build a modular home..."
The councilwoman's lawyer said his client, who is black, was provoked when Mayor Larry Salisbury used racial slurs as they argued over the variance. The mayor's attorney denied the racial slur claim.
