Monticello NY Mayor Gordon Jenkins after DWI Arrest




Published on Nov 23, 2013

 Unredacted, unedited, raw video-recordings of Mayor Gordon Jenkins' post-arrest processing at the Village of Monticello police station on November 16, 2013, from discs released in response to a request under the NYS Freedom of Information Law in Village of Monticello Justice Court by Hon. Josephine Finn on November 22, 2013, who suspended the Mayor's privilege to drive in New York State as a result of being charged with Refusing a Chemical Test.

An intoxicated Mayor and Acting Village Manager of Monticello, New York, handcuffed, alternating between threatening and police officers in an effort to bully his way to lenient treatment after arrested for impaired driving. Jenkins curses repeatedly while interacting with officers, calling both white and black policemen numerous hateful racial insults, creating a hostile work environment for the officers and other employees at Village Hall which threatens their health and security and appears designed to diminish the quality of service they are permitted to provide to the public.
