Town hall meetings aren't just a chance for people to vent their frustrations over sandwich condiments and the lack of arson in the community—they are also the perfect opportunity to shout at your local official for sleeping with your wife! That's what happened at a Spring Valley meeting Tuesday night, when maintenance worker Reginald Alfred accused Mayor Demeza Delhomme of breaking up his marriage.
"Mr. Delhomme is trying to use his power to get into my house," Alfred said just a few minutes into the meeting. "He destroyed my house. He destroyed my family. I have two daughters." After he spoke for a few minutes, Delhomme shouted back at him, "I don't know this man. I've never met this man."
The Journal News captured video of the confrontation, which you can see below.
Despite denying the accusations and the fact that Alfred brought no proof with him, at least one Trustee, Vilair Fonvil, didn't believe Delhomme, shouting back at him, "You screwed his wife and you say you don't know him?" before the whole meeting erupted in chaos and finger-pointing.
As The Journal News pointed out in a separate article, Delhomme hasn't exactly been an ideal mayor up to this point: since becoming the mayor of the Rockland County town, he's served jail time for refusing a judge's orders, illegally had a generator installed at his girlfriend's house, refused to work with Jewish developers, and declared himself "king of the village."
On the other hand, if Delhomme is purposefully trying to add a little zazz to his life story in order to inspire a Hollywood biopic-comedy about a rule-breaking, badass local mayor, he's doing a great job! Don't try to tell us Billy Bob Thornton isn't reading this article right now and dreaming of Bad Mayor and Bad Mayor 2: Bad To The Boner.
