Dolton Deputy Police Chief Indicted on Federal Bankruptcy Fraud Charges

Lewis Lacey, a close ally of Mayor Tiffany Henyard, faces accusations of hiding assets to avoid paying lawsuit settlements.

Lacey is charged with perjury, bankruptcy fraud, and making false statements.
He allegedly underreported income and concealed bank accounts in multiple bankruptcy filings.
The indictment is part of a broader federal investigation into alleged corruption involving Mayor Henyard.
Lacey's attorney claims the charges are an attempt to target Henyard through her associates.
Trustees have placed Lacey on administrative leave pending further investigation.
