Daily News | Darby’s mayor assaulted a borough councilman after a public meeting, DA says
The mayor of Darby has been charged with assault for attacking a borough councilman after a public meeting earlier this month, prosecutors said.
Burrell did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday. His attorney, Donald Chisholm, said the case was “an open matter” and that it was “best to let the court sort it out.” Burrell, who was elected mayor of the nearly 11,000-person borough in 2021, got into a “heated” argument with Thompson, 36, during a closed-door, informational meeting before the borough council meeting Nov. 2, according to the affidavit of probable cause for his arrest.
The public meeting followed without any issues, the affidavit said. When the meeting ended, as members of the public were leaving borough hall, Burrell asked if he could speak with Thompson.
