Public commenter escorted from meeting after using offensive language
Summary
A public commenter, Lloyd Hawes, who said he was upset about a moving violation citation, was escorted from the Oct. 14 meeting after using offensive language and a racial slur during his remarks.
During public comment at the Oct. 14 Jerseyville City Council meeting, Lloyd Hawes addressed the council about a moving violation citation he said was unjust. The meeting record states Hawes "was terribly upset about the situation." He was later escorted from the meeting by police after using offensive language and a racial slur during his comments.
