FBI serves subpoenas for controversial mayor Tiffany Henyard, as crackdown begins

Tiffany Henyard’s reign over the Illinois suburb of Dolton may soon be over. The FBI has served the controversial mayor with a a subpoenas on April 19 for ongoing allegations of abusing her power.

The mayor has been at the center of numerous scandals throughout her tenure. While known for her Nino Brown from “New Jack City” governing style, Henyard has run Dolton with an iron fist. She has been accused of extorting local business owners to contribute to her campaign and stealing millions in city funds for her luxury purchases.

The Village of Dolton Board of Trustees has already urged for a federal investigation into Henyard’s alleged criminal activities. Although the trustees voted for an outside probe into Henyard’s spending in February, the mayor vetoed the resolution the following month.
