THORTON TOWNSHIP, Ill. — The top administrator in both Thornton township and village of Dolton has been indicted for bankruptcy fraud.
Keith Freeman is accused of underreporting his income from the village and township during his own personal bankruptcy proceedings.
Freeman works for Dolton mayor and Thornton township supervisor Tiffany Henyard whose own spending, transparency and leadership style have come into question in a series of WGN Investigates reports.
Freeman was also the registered agent for the Tiffany Henyard Cares Foundation, which WGN Investigates has reported gathering much of its early funding from the township and has failed to document its spending.
Freeman, of Orland Park, is charged with one count of bankruptcy fraud. The charge is punishable by a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
WGN Investigates has previously reported federal agents have questioned several people who hold positions in the governments Tiffany Henyard oversees.
