The FBI on Tuesday raided the home of Riverdale Mayor Lawrence Jackson as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.
The “court-authorized law enforcement activity” took place at Jackson’s small brick bungalow in the 14500 block of South Union Avenue in Riverdale. A neighbor who did not want her name used described seeing law enforcement agents entering and leaving the home with what appeared to be boxes of evidence.The home sits on a corner lot a few blocks from the Kickapoo Woods forest preserve.
The raid marks yet another federal investigation involving Riverdale, which has a population of about 13,000 and has long been beset by budget woes and allegations of corruption. “It’s a step in the right direction, but unfortunately the Village of Riverdale will never be made whole because of the deceptive, fraudulent practices of Mr. Thomas,” Jackson said then.he had a record of cost savings, improved efficiency and greater accountability.
