Meeting interrupted by attendee who threatened council; session adjourned
Summary
An attendee interrupted the council outside the public‑comment period, became aggressive and told council members they were "all guilty for treason and all will be hung and killed;" after the incident the mayor called and the council approved an adjournment motion and closed the meeting at 8:27 PM.
An individual identified in the minutes as T. Feilmeier entered the meeting after the citizen‑input portion and interrupted council business. The mayor reminded him that public input occurs at the designated time and invited him to return for the next meeting. After being asked to leave, Feilmeier became aggressive and, according to the minutes, made threats against the council, stating they were "all guilty for treason and all will be hung and killed." He left the meeting shortly afterward.
Immediately after the disturbance the mayor asked for a motion to adjourn. Councilor Brian Pickhinke moved to adjourn, Councilor Christine Madden seconded, and the council adjourned the meeting at 8:27 PM. The minutes record that Feilmeier left the meeting following the threats; no formal arrests or further enforcement actions are recorded in the minutes.
