THORTON TOWNSHIP, Ill. (WLS) -- A new lawsuit has been filed against Thornton Township and its embattled supervisor Tiffany Henyard.
Dwayne Thrash claims he was fired without just cause or due process last year after refusing to go along with a scheme proposed by Henyard and her special assistant.
ABC7 reached out to Henyard for a comment, but did not immediately hear back.
Henyard, who also serves as the mayor of Dolton, is the focus of a federal criminal investigation and has been named in several other lawsuits by current and former city employees.
