Zeigler’s city council meeting Thursday night came to a close, things got hectic.

Many the crowd converged on the council table and police were called in to restore order and usher people out of the room.

The council also reviewed an auditors report showing the full extent of former city Treasurer Ryan Thorpe’s alleged theft of more than $315,000 from the city.

But when things turned to Flood’s reported threatening and intimidating behavior towards other city employees, things started to get tense.

City attorney Rebecca Whittington said the FBI was back in Zeigler, investigating Flood, for potential witness intimidation due to his behavior towards some city employees.
