An attorney representing multiple trustees on the Dolton Village Board has asked a Cook County judge to hold Mayor Tiffany Henyard in contempt of court for not following a temporary restraining order.
An attorney is asking for scandal-plagued mayor Tiffany Henyard to be held in contempt of court as village trustees allege she is not following a temporary restraining order issued last week.
A Cook Count judge granted the order, preventing three people Henyard recently appointed from taking office. That includes Ronnie Burge Sr, whom she appointed as police chief. The appointments were not approved by trustees.

The petition said Burge has refused to turn over his keys to the police department, his department issued uniform and his badge. It also said that the Henyard is interfering with current village administrator, Keith Freeman’s duties.
Henyard is being investigated by the FBI. A federal grand jury has been conducting a criminal investigation into her since November of last year.
A hearing regarding the matter is slated for Thursday morning.
