In a recent incident captured on body cam, Paulsboro Councilman Theodore D. Holloway lashed out at a police officer during a traffic stop for allegedly running a stop sign. Holloway insisted he was the officer's 'boss', asserting his authority and threatening to escalate the matter to the police chief. The altercation, which sparked condemnation from Mayor John Giovannitti, highlights frustrations around elected officials' expectations of special treatment. Mayor Giovannitti stressed that all officials must uphold higher standards of behavior and accountability.
I'm the one that brought you on! I put you on! Holloway yells at the camera before threatening to call Police Chief Gary Kille.
Paulsboro Mayor John Giovannitti slammed Holloway's behavior, calling it out of character for the longtime elected official.
As elected officials, we don't get special treatment. We have to be held to a higher standard, we can't get frustrated when something happens and make demands.
You know who I am, right? he demands.
