The self-described Chicago suburb “super mayor” is facing mounting legal woes after being ousted in a landslide election following a scandal-plagued time in office. 

Former Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard, a Democrat, has been ordered to appear for a contempt hearing after she did not turn over public records from her time in office, according to WGN 9. 

The Edgar County Watchdogs Inc. sued the Village of Dolton and the former mayor for failing to produce financial records after the administration allegedly disregarded Freedom of Information Act requests 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. 

Fox News Digital’s Michael Dorgan contributed to this report.
