Tiffany Henyard, the scandal-plagued mayor of Dolton, Illinois, has reportedly been found in contempt of court after allegedly stonewalling liquor licenses for months. 

The owners of St. Patrick’s, a three-story restaurant and banquet hall on Lincoln Avenue, sued in August, claiming the mayor had repeatedly promised to sign the liquor licenses, which were already approved by the village board of trustees, but did not. 

In court on Wednesday, Henyard, who also serves as the village liquor commissioner, reportedly vowed again that she’d sign the licenses, but she did not before a 5 p.m. Thursday deadline. 

The parties were therefore forced to return to court again Friday, and Henyard arrived a half hour late for the hearing, WGN-TV reported. 

“This should have been over in November,” Tiffany Kamara, one of St. Patrick’s owners, told WMAQ. 

Vuckovich said his client is pursuing the third license, as well as additional consequences for the mayor over the hold-up. “We want her to be fined. We want her to pay attorney fees, and we want damages. She has hurt my client,” the attorney reportedly said. “We are wasting money every day… taxpayers’ money. This is a nice building that people could be using and not to mention the jobs.”

Henyard’s attorney, Max Solomon, reportedly attempted to justify the delay. 

“It is very important for people to understand that the documents signed today had another entity on there. That was the holdup,” Solomon told WMAQ. “That was the only thing.” 

Fox News Digital reached out to Henyard and Solomon for comment but did not immediately hear back. 

Meanwhile, former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who had been hired to investigate Henyard last summer, has concluded her probe and is expected to release her findings Monday night, FOX 32 Chicago reported. 

Henyard is facing allegations including that she misused taxpayer dollars, overspent on village credit cards and fired an employee who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by a village trustee while on a work trip to Las Vegas.
