DETROIT -- A member of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's staff filed a police report claiming Detroit City Council Pro Tem Monica Conyers threatened him with a gun at a board meeting on Wednesday.

Read Conyers, Milton Police Report

A general retirement system board meeting turned into a profane shouting match when Conyers asked the board to pay a firm to conduct a study about a potential investment.

Pension board member DeDan Milton told Conyers the board could not afford to fund the study. Witnesses said the argument quickly escalated and profane language was used.

Conyers told Local 4 that she and Milton later apologized to each other in a back room.

Later that day, Milton filed a police report that said Conyers had verbally attacked him and "then threatened to shoot the victim (Milton) with a gun."

Conyers' chief of staff, Sam Riddle, told Local 4 that Conyers never threatened him with a real gun and what she said was that she had a bigger gun than Milton, and the gun was her husband. Riddle said she was referring to a political gun.

Conyers is the wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit.

Milton also reported that Conyers said, "I am going to have my brothers f#%k you up."

Conyers filed a police report a few hours later and listed Milton as the offender.

In a statement released Friday, Milton said, "The account of the situation that her chief of staff Sam Riddle has been giving to the news media is completely false and in direct contradiction with what was witnessed by my colleagues on the Pension Board."

Riddle said Milton instigated the fight by cursing at Conyers, but that Conyers did not shy away from the confrontation.

Milton said he is considering asking for charges to be filed.
