The individual once known as the “super mayor” of a Chicago suburb is encountering escalating legal troubles after being removed from office by a significant majority due to multiple controversies during their administration.

Tiffany Henyard, the former mayor of Dolton and a member of the Democratic party, has been summoned for a contempt hearing. This summons comes as a result of her failure to provide public records from her tenure, reported by WGN 9.

The Village of Dolton, along with its former mayor, was sued by Edgar County Watchdogs Inc. for not supplying financial documents. The lawsuit claims the administration overlooked requests made under the Freedom of Information Act earlier this year.

Henyard made national headlines in April 2024 after the FBI served subpoenas at Dolton Village Hall following corruption allegations against local officials, according to FOX 32 Chicago.

While Henyard was not charged, village trustees voted to hire former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to lead an investigation into her administration, with the town meeting descending into chaos as supporters of Henyard clashed with her opponents following the decision. 

Lightfoot reportedly discovered the village’s general fund fell from its initial $5.6 million balance to a $3.6 million deficit, with the local government’s credit card charges adding up to over $779,000 in 2023. 

In February, a federal subpoena was issued, coinciding with the day Henyard was defeated in the mayoral primary, FOX 32 reported. The filing relates to a development project involving land reportedly owned by Henyard’s boyfriend. 

Henyard is reportedly scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
