The store of Mayor Jenkins who is accused of selling trademark counterfeiting

Sullivan County, NY - Monticello Mayor Gordon Jenkins on Friday said he would not resign his position and vowed to fight a felony charge that he sold counterfeit merchandise from his store on Broadway.

He called the charges trumped up.

“I am not going anywhere,” Jenkins said. “I am not going to resign. I am going to fight for the people in the village and be honest.”

On Thursday afternoon, troopers arrested Jenkins, 49, and his domestic partner, Rochelle Massey, 49, on charges of trademark counterfeiting, criminal possession of a weapon and possession of marijuana. Troopers say they have been investigating Jenkins for four months on suspicion of selling knock-off shoe brands, such as Nike and Timberland Boots, at G-Men Beauty Supplies.

The two were arraigned and released on a $2,500 bail.
