DOLTON, Ill. – Embattled Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard was found in contempt of court Friday morning in a case over her alleged refusal to sign off on promised liquor licenses.
Attorneys for the owners of St. Patrick’s, a three-story restaurant and banquet hall, said the business will finally be able to open after a judge found Henyard in contempt and forced her to sign the liquor licenses she’d allegedly been stonewalling for months.
“It’s been a challenge to put it mildly. It shouldn’t be so difficult. This is an ordinary event to get liquor licenses issued,” Adrian Vuckovich, an attorney for the owners of St. Patrick’s, said.
Vuckovich sued on behalf of the restaurant’s owners back in August, claiming Henyard repeatedly promised to issue the licenses the village board already approved, but she did not. She’s made that promise again in court on Wednesday. When those license still weren’t signed Thursday, all parties were back in court for a hearing Friday morning.
Henyard showed up to Friday’s hearing half an hour late.
“The judge asked the mayor, ‘Will you sign these licenses?’ and instead of signing them or answering the judge directly, she began talking in circles and so that’s when the judge made one determination of what’s called indirect criminal contempt,” Vuckovich said.
That means, the judge found Henyard disrespectful to the court’s authority.
Henyard signed two of the three licenses under threat of another finding of contempt.
“It’s serious. It’s not something anybody would want to happen, especially if you’re a public official,” Vuckovich said.

I keep seeing democrat women get elected in blue areas and quickly abusing their office, engaged in unethical and illegal behavior.
Cook County, Ill. has been as crooked as a den of snakes for as long as I can remember. But Tiffany is totally wacky and thinks everybody in this little town “loves her”.
As nutty a Maxine Waters out in CA.
Apparently, she has billed her wig costs, makeup and wardrobe to the taxpayers!
Like mooch 2.0!
If you look for “other people’s money” in the dictionary, there is a picture of Henyard.
Unspoken is the reason why the despicable witch refused to sign the licenses.
This happened before......unless the business owners contribute to her campaign, she refuses to sign.
She’s a blackmailer.
Well give her this.....she's quite the "fashion plate"........./s.
That is despicable, but it makes more sense now. Because the applicant refused to be extorted. I thought maybe it was because the restaurant owner has a Polish last name, something other than what most black people would be named.
Reminds me of the play and movie, A RAISIN IN THE SUN in which a black Chicago family comes into money and wants to invest in a liquor license.
Her corruption is nothing new but her off the charts nuttiness makes her a remarkable case. I’m surprised she’s been able to stay in office apparently over several terms.
You are not supposed to notice.
LOL 😅🤣🤣🤣
