VIDEO: Public Works Director, Resident Nearly Come to Blows During Council Meeting

Police separated the public works director and a resident as they engaged in a heated argument Monday night.

Video footage of Monday night's Township Council meeting, during which Public Works Department director Len Moffa and resident Darren Gladden engaged in a spirited argument, was made available on Blip.tv through the township's official website Tuesday afternoon.

The two men came face to face and chest to chest during the heated argument.

Gloucester Township Patch has separated two videos of the confrontation between Moffa and Gladden, an independent candidate for Township Council in 2011, from the full meeting footage. One video is slightly longer, and shows Gladden approach the microphone to address Council.
