WEST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) – A West Haven town official who is a top contender to lead the local Democratic party has been charged with buying stolen jewelry and tampering with evidence.

Gene Sullivan, 56, a Board of Finance member who owns Leslie Jewelers, was arrested Monday and released on a promise to appear in Superior Court.

Police say Sullivan told investigators he received some jewelry that apparently belonged to police Commissioner Thomas Gallagher. Police have charged a 17-year-old boy with stealing jewelry from Gallagher’s home on March 2.

Mayor John Picard had said he planned to nominate Sullivan for chairman of the Democratic Town Committee. Picard says he still supports Sullivan.

Sullivan didn’t immediately return a phone message Tuesday.

The comedy in this, other than it is my city, is that you're under the assumption Republicans are not equally as corrupt, even though the evidence supports they are.

Funny, no surprise that people here are blind to the fact that the party in power is corrupt and refuse to see it and can only comment on the nostalgic past.

Who's making up these stories. This is impossible. It's a well known fact that in CT only Republicans can be corrupt. Democrats are some of the finest most compassionate, honest people ever to grace God's green Earth. They are as pure as the driven snow.

This is the same 'gentleman" that was featured in the New Haven Register a few years ago who was afforded a small business loan from the City of West Haven and never paid it back.

"Funny, no surprise that people here are blind to the fact that the party in power is corrupt and refuse to see it and can only comment on the nostalgic past."

It's also funny how you dismiss the past because you either:

1. cannot justify what happened.
2. are blind to the facts.
3. unable to comprehend how the past effects the present.
