SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - A heated council meeting in Springfield Tuesday night, full of arguments and Mayor Misty Buscher calling for adjournment.
WAND News partner WTAX said the meeting ended in chaos after Alderman Shawn Gregory began shouting at former police chief Michael Walton.
Walton had come to council to address the board during public comment, but tempers flared during the discussion between Walton and Gregory.
The meeting got so chaotic that Buscher was forced to quickly adjourn.
The city's live stream video ended abruptly and was pulled from the website, and was made unavailable to the public.
WAND reached out to the mayor's office for comment, but has not yet heard back.
