Hoggarth Stephen, Trenton's top engineer, was propped up on pillows when he lifted his shirt and placed his cellphone on his abdomen, then reached for a snack, according to video of the incident published in a report by NJ Advance Media.
It occurred as Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora discussed plans to spend federal COVID-19 relief.
Stephen was apparently fired in 2014 for threatening another city employee, but was rehired in 2016 by former Mayor Tony Mack Stephen, the Trentonian reports.
Stephen did not immediately respond to Daily Voice's request for comment.
