July 3, 2012 — Kevin Kenyon, a Career and Technical Education instructor with the Capital Region BOCES, was arrested July 3 for attempting to sell tractor equipment that was on loan to BOCES from a supporting educational partner.

According to the Schoharie County Sheriff’s Department, Kenyon was charged with one count of Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the 3rd degree, and one count of Grand Larceny in the 3rd degree. He was released on his own recognizance pending an appearance in Schoharie Town Court on July 9 at 4:30 p.m.

Kenyon has been employed by BOCES since October 2009 as a teacher in the Commercial Construction/Heavy Equipment program at BOCES’ Schoharie County Career and Technical Education Center.

He will be placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal charges.

Officials at BOCES reported the matter to the Schoharie County Sheriff’s department immediately upon learning of a Craig’s List advertisement for tractor equipment that had been donated to BOCES for educational purposes only.
