  • Tiffany Henyard news: Dolton mayor, Thornton Township supervisor speaks out on investigation into village finances: ABC7 EXCLUSIVE


    DOLTON, Ill. (WLS) — Embattled Dolton Mayor and Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard spoke exclusively with ABC7 on Friday.

    Earlier this week, Henyard was seen rushing into the center of a brawl that broke out during a township board meeting. It’s just the latest development during months of drama and investigations involving her leadership.

    Henyard spoke with ABC7 about her critics and the saga surrounding Dolton’s finances.

    The mayor of Dolton has had nothing to say in person about the investigation into village finances, until Friday.

    “I understand everyone want me to be the target,” Henyard said. “I understand they want me to be the bad guy for everything that goes on in the village, but that’s not the truth.”

    Understand I’m dealing with 30 years of neglect, and being a young mayor, being the first female mayor, I’m under so much scrutiny.

    Tiffany Henyard, Dolton Mayor

    Henyard met ABC7 with her attorney to comment on the report. They said Henyard released a statement Tuesday, but it didn’t get much attention.

    Henyard said she is being blamed for the actions of others.

    “Do everybody know what their employed do?” Henyard said. “I feel a responsibility to tell the truth, that’s what I’m doing.”

    On Monday, former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot revealed expenses ballooned during Henyard’s tenure, leading to a deficit of $3.65 million dollars at one point.

    Lightfoot reports anything over $5,000 needed trustee approval, but that protocol wasn’t followed. Instead, the Village was paying off expenses from six credit cards that included few receipts from places like Wayfair and Amazon, and over $40,000 dollars for items for an ice skating rink.

    Henyard contends the expenses were approved and that she was not the one making purchases.

    “Put the responsibility where it goes,” Henyard said. “I understand everyone wants to beat up the mayor, but it’s people out in place.”

    “Lori Lightfoot is not interested in fact but in spectacle political theater that’s going to help her, not the people,” Henyard’s attorney Beau Brindley said.

    Mayor Lightfoot’s spokesperson shared a comment, which reads in part: “Mayor Henyard and others systematically withheld the truth from Trustees and the public about the true financial state of the Village… The facts speak for themselves and no amount of spin can overcome the tragic reality of her tenure as Mayor of the Village of Dolton.”

    “Understand I’m dealing with 30 years of neglect, and being a young mayor, being the first female mayor, I’m under so much scrutiny,” Henyard said.

    A day after the Lightfoot report, social media lit up with videos of a scuffle at a Thornton Township meeting where Henyard is supervisor. Henyard, seen on video, got involved in the chaos.

    Her lawyer claims someone from outside of Dolton, who attended the meeting, swung a knife at the mayor’s boyfriend.

    “These men are attacking him with a deadly weapon, and the mayor, fearing for his safety, did go toward that crowd, risking get hurt herself,” Brindley said.

    Her attorney claims the coverage of the incident unfairly villainizes Henyard.

    No one was arrested or charged in the incident this week. Meanwhile, the Dolton board will meet Monday.

    After the incident at Thornton Township, Henyard said she will likely not attend Monday’s meeting unless there is more security.

  • ‘Medical Emergency’ Drew Police Response to Patton Township Sheetz, Chief Says

    Updated 4:56 p.m. Jan. 30.

    A “medical emergency” drew a heavy police presence to a Patton Township Sheetz and forced the store to temporarily close on Thursday morning, according to the township’s police chief.

    A male was taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center by ambulance after police responded at about 7:15 a.m. to the Sheetz at 101 Valley Vista Drive, Chief Tyler Jolley wrote in a press release.

    Centre County Coroner Scott Sayers confirmed to StateCollege.com later on Thursday that a death was involved and that his office responded. He called it “an isolated incident” and said there was no threat to the public, but referred further questions to Patton Township police.

    Jolley declined additional comment.

    “We are not releasing anything more at this time,” Jolley wrote in an email response to a request for further information on Thursday morning.

    A Sheetz spokesperson said he could not provide details about the incident, but that the company is providing mental health resources and support to those who may have been affected.

    The store reopened and resumed normal operations on Thursday morning.

    After first responders arrived and the store’s parking lot was closed off, State College Area School District sent a message to families advising that there was no threat to nearby schools.

    “As some of you are aware, there was an incident at the Valley Vista Sheetz this morning that required a heavy presence of first responders,” Nabil Mark, SCASD media and communications manager, wrote. “We have been in direct contact with the Patton Township Police Department, who has assured us that there is no danger to any of our schools and all of our students are safe.”

    This story will be updated as more information becomes available.



    In a recent medical emergency at the Patton Township Sheetz, the Drew Police Department quickly responded to the scene, according to Chief Smith. The incident, which occurred late last night, required immediate medical attention and the swift action of law enforcement.

    Chief Smith praised the officers for their professionalism and quick response in handling the situation. He emphasized the importance of collaboration between law enforcement and medical personnel in times of crisis.

    The individual involved in the medical emergency is currently receiving treatment at a local hospital, and their condition is stable. Chief Smith expressed gratitude for the community’s support and understanding during this challenging time.

    The Drew Police Department remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents, and will continue to respond promptly to emergencies as they arise.

  • Allegheny Township Big Lots appears to be in jeopardy as partial liquidation unfolds


    The future of Big Lots’ footprint in Western Pennsylvania remains unclear, but it’s not looking good for the Allegheny Township location.

    Its lease was recently available for transfer, which is a sign it could close as part of the struggling bargain retailer’s acquisition by a Boston-based asset liquidation firm.

    Locations in North Versailles, West Mifflin and Whitehall also made the list posted earlier this month by buyer Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, along with roughly 460 other stores in 47 states.

    The stores are mostly located in shopping plazas and range in size from about 19,000 to 55,000 square feet, the firm noted on the sale website.

    David Rosen, Big Lots’ landlord in Allegheny Township, did not immediately return a request for comment. The company is the last tenant in Rosen’s shopping plaza off Route 56.

    Will others be spared?

    The other 20-or-so Big Lots stores in Western Pennsylvania may have better prospects.

    Stores in Harrison, Hempfield, Monroeville, Penn Hills, Ross Township, Unity and other areas could stay open as part of 200 to 400 unnamed locations transferred to North Carolina-based Variety Wholesalers through the deal with Gordon Brothers.

    Up to two distribution centers, including the one in Tremont, Pa., could be saved, too.

    Variety Wholesalers, which operates more than 400 stores in the U.S. — mostly under the Roses and Roses Express names — has said it plans to run its latest acquisitions as Big Lots and may retain employees in the process.

    In a statement announcing the sale, Big Lots President and CEO Bruce Thorn said the deal presents the “strongest opportunity to preserve jobs, maximize value for the real estate and ensure continuity of the Big Lots brand.”

    The company has been seeking a buyer for many months and filed for bankruptcy protection in September.

    Gordon Brothers emerged as a buyer after Nexus Capital Management backed out of a sale agreement.

    Messages left with Gordon Brothers and Variety Wholesalers seeking location-specific information were not immediately returned.

    The Big Lots website seems to indicate nothing is final.

    A banner reads: “All stores closing: now save up to 40% entire store.”

A Pittsburgh native, he joined the Trib in January 2024 after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh. He can be reached at jtroy@triblive.com.



    It seems that the Big Lots store in Allegheny Township may be in jeopardy, as a partial liquidation sale is currently underway. Customers have noticed signs throughout the store advertising discounts on various items, leading to speculation that the store may be closing its doors for good.

    The news has caused concern among residents who rely on the store for affordable household goods and other necessities. Many have expressed their disappointment on social media, with some even starting a petition to save the store.

    While there has been no official announcement from Big Lots regarding the fate of the Allegheny Township location, the signs of a liquidation sale are certainly cause for concern. Residents are encouraged to show their support for the store by shopping there and spreading the word about the potential closure.

    Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.
