A Louisiana mayor is under fire for launching into an altercation with a local resident at a council meeting.
Video shows Elton Mayor Kesia Lemoine locking heads with an unidentified woman who she later argued with her inside a meeting room.
The footage show Lemoine walking out of the room while yelling at the woman before being held back by other citizens.
Footage then shows the woman screaming at Lemoine, saying: 'Keep your f****** hands off of me.'
She is also heard saying that she wants to press charges on Lemoine in the video while a group of people try to keep the pair apart.
Eventually, a police officer escorts the woman out of city hall while she continues to yell at Lemoine.
Later, Lemoine allegedly hit a cellphone being used to record the incident out of the hands of onlooker Heidi Newell. According to the Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff's Office, Lemoine has been cited for battery.
Newell described the incident as 'utter chaos'.
'I was videoing like we normally do because of situations and she basically turned around, hit me in the chest and knocked my phone out of my hand,' Newell said.
Newell, a former town employee, said Lemoine unexpectedly fired her from her job but she continues attending council meetings.
**SNIP**
A petition was launched earlier this year to strip the mayor from of her TITLE.
Brandon Kelley, who faced Lemoine in a mayoral runoff election last year, told the American Press that a group of residents is seeking to remove her from office after instances of possible corruption in the last mayoral election came to light.
After the video of the mayor's altercation with the unidentified woman went viral, a new petition has been launched to recall her from her position.

Follow Scott Adams advice.
This is what passes for “civilization” in our post-modern world.
I occasionally hear how much better off we’d be if women were running the country. I can’t help but think how much better off we’d be if they didn’t vote.
19th Amendment ruined the country.
Those amish people can be rather radical?????
Re: locking heads
I have never heard this expression. What?
Yes. Feminists said that women would provide empathetic, nurturing leadership. Looks to me that they’re more greedy and jealous than males.
Ferals gonna feral.
Yup. Suffrage: Now we're all suffering.
Just another loudmouth bLACK woman (or two).
“Re: locking heads
I have never heard this expression. What?”
Probably comes from the expression, “locking horns” but the writer is too dumb to get it right.
An IQ of 75.
No impulse control.
Hates Whitey.
Just your average Pygmy cannibal that is running America to the ground. Soon, there won’t be anymore White flesh to consume and they will have to deal with the brown people.
Soon America = Haiti on steroids.
A politico reached for the hormone card? Really?
Easy defense. “Who out there just had a kid and has not slept in three days?”
No impulse control when someone disagrees with them?
Must be Amish.

Sounds like a malaphor of "locking horns" and "butting heads".
I like to mix "rocket scientist" and "brain surgeon", as in:
"Dude, obviously you ain't no rocket surgeon!"
