Suffolk sheriff denies law violation
Federal prosecutors have charged Suffolk Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins with extortion related to his dealings with a cannabis company, alleging he used his position to pressure the company into transactions benefiting him financially. Tompkins's defense argues there was no quid pro quo or official misconduct, asserting that the stock transactions were legitimate business dealings with a longtime friend. Jury selection is scheduled for August, and Tompkins has maintained his innocence and plans to fight the charges.
