Dolton’s Mayor Tiffany Henyard is under the scrutiny of federal authorities, facing a litany of allegations ranging from misusing funds to covering up serious misconduct, American television network FOX 32 Chicago reported. The mayor has reportedly received two subpoenas — one targeting her private activities and the other centering on township matters, as disclosed by the local station that obtained copies.
The saga allegedly began when FBI agents served subpoenas at Thornton Township Hall on Friday. Henyard serves not only as mayor but also as township supervisor, multiple networks have reported. She has been accused of alleged financial impropriety, wrongful termination, and the suppression of a former employee’s sexual assault.
FOX 32 also shared that scores of Thornton Township residents convened at a rally on Saturday, echoing resounding calls for Mayor Henyard’s resignation and a thorough investigation into her expenditures within the township.
According to various news outlets, the investigation casts a wide net, delving into Henyard’s various endeavors, including her restaurant, property management company, political action committee, and charity bearing her name. Additionally, township financial documents are scrutinized, encompassing budgets, payroll records, and ordinances governing expenses.
Accusations of misappropriating taxpayer money for personal expenses, including a lavish police security detail and extravagant travel, have reportedly fueled public outrage. In a recent village board meeting, residents voiced their discontent, demanding her resignation as tensions reached a boiling point, various news agencies reported.

Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard, in her three-year tenure, faces legal battles and public condemnation. The Del Galdo Law Group, representing both Henyard and the village of Dolton, has sought to withdraw from their cases, citing concerns over the village’s financial stability. With millions of dollars in pending judgments and mounting legal fees, reports say Dolton seems to be teetering on the brink of insolvency.
Mayor Tiffany Henyard has vehemently denied all allegations of misconduct, asserting last month that the barrage of accusations amounts to nothing but a concerted smear campaign aimed at ousting a female political figure.
