Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins was arrested on federal extortion charges after prosecutors alleged he sought early access to $50,000 worth of stock from a Massachusetts cannabis company in exchange for favorable treatment. Court documents say Tompkins threatened the firm, leveraging his official position to secure the private deal. Tompkins, a prominent figure in Boston politics who barred federal immigration agents from his jails in 2019, has led the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department since 2013. The case adds to rising scrutiny of elected law-enforcement officials and their business dealings. Federal authorities have not yet set a court date, and representatives for Tompkins did not immediately comment.
