Riviera Beach City Council members are expressing fear over Tradrick McCoy’s behavior since 2019 at a special meeting on Wednesday night.
Those council members said a fight occurred between McCoy and another council member at last week’s meeting.
There are five elected council members and a mayor, Ronnie L. Felder, who doesn’t vote.
Council members KaShamba Miller-Anderson, Dr. Julia Botel and Shirley Lanier said they feared McCoy would eventually hurt somebody based off his prior behavior. Douglas Lawson is the council chairperson and also expressed concern about safety at meetings.
“I have stated this publicly at least three times regarding my fear of Mr. McCoy,” Lanier said. “…I am truly afraid of council member McCory. What needs to happen for this board to take action? Somebody harmed? Somebody killed?”
Caleb Holder/WPTVLanier said she called the police on him and read from the incident report.
They voted unanimously to complain about him to the governor’s office and the state Commission on Ethics.
