Fellow commissioner Amber Campbell-Moore reported feeling unsafe and claimed she saw him rack the weapon. Sineath defended his actions, saying he’s a special deputy who carries a firearm for protection amid past threats at meetings, insisting he only lifted his shirt to access it—not pull it. The incident occurred during a tense discussion over a major housing rezoning proposal, and while Chairwoman Lisa Kerns asked the disruptor to leave, the confrontation continued. Campbell-Moore demanded he step back, expressing clear discomfort, while other commissioners reportedly did nothing to intervene. Sineath blamed the situation on Campbell-Moore’s inexperience, suggesting she overreacted because she didn’t know he was armed.
