The accusations surfaced publicly during a board meeting Monday night, where a representative from the Southern States Police Benevolent Association (SSPBA) outlined what he described as a troubling pattern of conduct by Mayor William “Mondale” Robinson.

Brandon McGaha, a staff representative for the SSPBA, told town officials and Robinson’s supporters, some disguised as residents of Enfield, that the organization believes Mayor Robinson may have violated state election laws, federal restrictions under the Hatch Act, and multiple provisions of North Carolina’s personnel statutes.

“During an alcohol investigation, the mayor assaulted two departmental employees — police officers — and made racial slurs to other police department employees,” McGaha said in prepared remarks.

He added that Robinson’s “conduct appears to violate federal and state law,” including ethical standards outlined in Chapter 168 of the North Carolina General Statutes.

McGaha said the SSPBA has asked the Halifax County District Attorney’s Office to request a formal investigation by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation. The request, he said, concerns both the alleged assault and the mayor’s “failure to discharge his duties.”

Monday’s meeting grew increasingly confrontational when the mayor sought to respond to an email that had been circulated to commissioners without his inclusion. Commissioner Michael A. Redic Sr. attempted to interject, prompting Mayor Robinson to raise his voice.

“This is my time. Order requires you not to interrupt me in this moment,” Robinson said sharply. “I reserve my time.”

The exchange prompted laughter from the packed audience and an unsuccessful motion to adjourn from Redic. The mayor insisted he was speaking in his personal capacity — not on behalf of the town — and dismissed attempts by Redic to have the town attorney to intervene.

The SSPBA’s comments about two officers being assaulted stems from an incident reported on Nov. 1 involving an alcohol-related investigation at a gathering in Enfield.

A Halifax County E-911 Central Communications CAD report shows that law enforcement responded shortly after 8 p.m. to 100 North Dennis Street for a reported alcohol violation.

Officers noted that the mayor had set up a table and was distributing liquor — conduct police warned was unlawful.

According to the log, when Enfield Police Chief Jerry Shoemaker informed Robinson that dispensing liquor without a permit was illegal, the mayor told him to “f— off” and began playing “F— Tha Police” by N.W.A. through a speaker system.

The report further states that an Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) district supervisor told Robinson directly that he was in violation of state ABC law.

The mayor demanded to be shown the statute, and officers informed him he would be cited. The log notes that Robinson yelled into a microphone that the police chief “is against him,” and that the crowd became “unstable.”

Robinson — legally known as William Robinson — was later cited under North Carolina General Statute 18B-301(F)(4) for possessing spirituous liquor on premises not authorized for alcohol consumption.

McGaha said the reported conduct and other behavior by the Mayor raises questions about whether Robinson is fit to serve as the principal executive officer of Enfield as the town charter requires.

The SSPBA representative added that the mayor’s public statements, which he characterized as “self-published” attacks on employees and residents, have further eroded confidence among town staff.

Mayor Robinson has not publicly responded to the allegations. It remains unclear whether state investigators will take up the referral but The North Carolina Beat has reached out to the SBI for comment.
