A court filing submitted yesterday led to an Emergency Temporary Restraining Order that removed Lakeside Legal Attorney Angela Lockett from her position as Village Attorney, Ronnie Burge Sr. as Village Police Chief, and Michael A. Smith as Village Administrator. The complaint alleges various criminal activities, including the unlawful restraint of the Administrative Services director by Tiffany Henyard’s boyfriend and former Dolton Deputy Police Chief, under Henyard's direction.

The complaint highlights that appointments and terminations made by the mayor require the advice and consent of the board, which was not sought in this instance. The full complaint and emergency motion for the TRO detail how these appointments violated village code and were unauthorized.

"Read the entire complaint and emergency motion for TRO below, which will explain how these appointments violated village code and were never authorized," stated a representative.
