Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins arrested in FL, charged with extortion involving cannabis company
By James Kukstis, WHDH, August 8, 2025

BOSCAWEN, N.H. (WHDH) – Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins was arrested Friday following an indictment by a federal grand jury on two counts of extortion.

Tompkins, 67, of Boston, was taken into custody in the Southern District of Florida, where he will appear Friday morning before appearing in Boston at a later date.

“The FBI took Sheriff Tompkins into custody today for allegedly extorting $50,000 from the owner of a national cannabis retailer seeking to do business in Boston. We believe what the Sheriff saw as an easy way to make a quick buck on the sly is clear cut corruption under federal law,” Ted Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston division said in a statement. “The citizens of Suffolk County deserve better, not a man who is accused of trading on his position to bankroll his own political and financial future. Public servants must be held to the highest of ethical standards, and those falling short will be rooted out.”

The charges each carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.

According to court documents, an unnamed “national cannabis cultivation and retail company” launched its IPO in 2021 and the stock had a value of approximately $9.60 per share. Tompkins’s $50,000 purchase of 14,417 shares of the company’s stock had appreciated to an approximate value of $138,403.
