@ksatnews: The mayor of Balcones Heights is behind bars after a confrontation with a 78-year-old former council member — caught on camera — at Monday night's city council meeting. Mayor Johnny Rodriguez was arrested and booked into the Bexar County Jail on a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault against an elderly individual, after allegedly making physical contact with former Councilman Lamar Gillian, who can be heard on video telling Rodriguez, "Don't you touch me." His bond was set at $5,000, and he's been ordered to have no contact with the victim and cannot possess a firearm. This isn't the first time Rodriguez has stirred controversy — back in June, KSAT's Dillon Collier and Gabby Jimenez reported on a series of misconduct allegations against him, including racial slurs, retaliation concerns, and confrontations, all of which he has denied. The city says it respects the legal process and that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty — but the drama inside that council chamber? You have to see it for yourself.
