It’s never a good day at the office when you leave on a stretcher. Using that definition, it’s’ clear that the Mayor of Windemere, Florida, had his day end badly.

During comments earlier in the night, Mayor Gary Bruhn suggested that the town’s manager, Cecelia Bernier, should be fired for mismanaging police evidence and performing special favors for her friends. While a vote wasn’t taken on her dismissal, the damage had been done. As the meeting adjourned, the town manager’s husband apparently confronted the Mayor. That’s when Mayor Bruhn’s day turned for the worse.

While details remain unclear, either punches or pushes caused the mayor to fall, striking his head, and losing consciousness. 

The man was later seen leaving the Police Station, after questioning. Whether or not he’s been charged remains unclear.
