Dolton, a village in south suburban Chicago, is facing financial turmoil after failing to make a loan payment for 13 vehicles, including six police cruisers, financed in 2019. The Board of Trustees had authorized a payment of $76,138 last May but the payment was not processed, leading to a threat from the bank to repossess the vehicles over the outstanding loan amount of more than $76,000. This incident adds to a series of controversies surrounding Dolton's mayor, Tiffany Henyard, who is also accused of obtaining two fake police cars in her role as Thornton Township supervisor.
