It has just been reported that Mayor Tiffany Henyard is in Federal custody. The Southland Journal is on the scene with several news outlets at the South Holland police station to confirm. The South Holland Police Department has not released any info and asked all media outlets to file FOIA requests. The Southland Journal reported earlier today that it’s been reported that Trustee Andrew Holmes was placed in custody first.
lotta weak tea here ... zero confirmation by any LEOs ... hope it turns out to be true, though ...
More bulls**t?
Tiffany Henyard has not been arrested by Merrick Garland's Justice Department on federal charges.
She deserves to be, but she has not.
When they know they are losing they go on to ‘whitewash’ as I call it.
Bring it out and with judges we have, they find them not guilty and that’s end it.
sandraeosec.com-——Dolton is a village of 20,000 residents just south of Chicago. The village is more than 90% Black. Mayor Henyard is accused of spending over $1 million in taxpayer funds on a security detail of police officers. One officer was paid for 332 hours of overtime in a 2-week period. There are only 336 hours in 14 days. His paycheck was over $13,000. Residents say Henyard has spent hundreds of thousands on first-class trips, events, and an ice rink.
When City Council members stopped payments on the installation of the ice skating rink, Henyard went around them and hired a different company to complete the installation. “The spending has become unbearable for the residents. It’s parties and a lot of events. It’s resources in reference to making it look like something is being done, but we really can’t afford it,” Dolton, Illinois, trustee, Kiana Belcher told the NY Post.
“A million dollars of overtime for the police department is absurd. We can’t afford it,” Belcher added. In addition to her duties as mayor, Henyard kept her job as Thornton Township Supervisor. Between her 2 elected positions, she earns $285,000 annually. She will draw from 2 pensions when she retires.
Information obtained in a public records request by WGN News showed Henyard and other officials spent nearly $67,000 in Thornton Township funds on trips to Portland, Austin, Atlanta and New York City.
A vocal critic of Henyard’s believes the mayor sent someone to shoot up her property. Former Village of Dolton Trustee Valeria Stubbs says 2 cars belonging to her tenants were riddled with bullets last July. Stubbs, a retired member of the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, says the drive-by shooting occurred after she accused Henyard of misuse of taxpayer funds. FOX 32 News has been covering Henyard’s alleged corruption for nearly two years. The outlet reports that federal agents are in the Village of Dolton interviewing residents about the mayor.
Lawrence Gardner, who owns a U-Haul rental and trucking business, told FOX 32 he went to the FBI months ago. Gardner became frustrated that the Village of Dolton would not renew his business license if he didn’t donate to Henyard’s reelection campaign. Gardner said he’s been harassed and his business raided and shut down by Dolton Police.
