Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard is getting national attention after a critic’s home was sprayed with bullets.
According to WGN News, Henyard attends city meetings dressed like the fictional drug dealer Nino Brown in the 1991 movie “New Jack City.”
The mayor is accused of spending over $1 million in taxpayer funds on a security detail of police officers.
Dolton is $7 million in debt, but Henyard launched a $1 million giveaway at the start of Black History Month.
Now a vocal critic of Henyard’s believes the mayor ordered someone to shoot up her home.
Former Village of Dolton Trustee Valeria Stubbs says 2 cars belonging to her tenants were riddled with bullets last July.
Stubbs, a retired member of the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, says the drive-by shooting occurred after she accused Henyard of misuse of funds.
Stubbs accused Henyard of using the debt-ridden town’s coffers as her personal piggy bank. Henyard allegedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on lavish travel, dinners and luxury items.
After the NY Post reached out to Henyard for comment, she posted a video of herself personally shoveling snow from Stubbs’ driveway.
“This is what it looks like when you pull up on your haters,” Henyard stated in the video. “Guess what? I am there for all my haters. It doesn’t matter. Because I am the mayor of all of Dolton — the good, the bad and the ugly. And even the hateful.”
Several months later, after an unsuccessful recall effort led by Stubbs, Henyard again came to her property. This time she arrived with a “caravan of police and city workers,” the retired deputy said.
“I wasn’t home, and they rang all the doorbells of me and my tenants, asking where I was,” she said. “They called me and told me there were all these people outside. I called Henyard, but she didn’t answer.”
“I wanted it on record that this woman was coming to my house and harassing me,” Stubbs said. “I told her not to come to my house again under any circumstances.”
Henyard’s security detail of police officers are accused of over-billing the town for hours worked.
One officer claimed he worked 330 hours over a 2-week period. He was paid more than $13,000 for 2 weeks.
Local business owners say the mayor is threatening to shut them down if they don’t donate to her reelection fund.
