Biography

Background

Tabor Heights is a sleepy town in Northern New Jersey with a largely methodist christian population. The town is notable for having the last gas station in New Jersey on the drive from Atlantic City to New York. Sickles is in the pocket of Atlantic City crime boss Nucky Thompson, accepting pay offs to ensure safe passage of his bootlegging shipments through the town. His Deputy, Ramsey, is in on the racket.

Season 3

Nucky's bootlegging manager Mickey Doyle makes a stop in Tabor Heights to pay off Sickles in advance of a convoy heading to Arnold Rothstein via the town. Mickey is accompanied by newly released election rigger Eli Thompson. Eli recognizes Sickles from his days as Atlantic County Sheriff and Sickles is dismissive of him as a disgraced lawman.

That night New York gangster Gyp Rosetti eats at the local diner. He is amused to find spaghetti and meatballs on the menu and tries to order some wine to go with it. Sheriff Sickles emerges from the rest room and tells Gyp that the coffee is good. Gyp settles for the legal accompaniment and jokes with his associate Tonino that the dish is just like mama used to make.

Gyp plans to use the town's strategic location as a roadblock to Nucky transporting shipments. Gyp has recently been cut off by Nucky, who has announced his intention to supply Rothstein exclusively. Gyp has Tonino at least ten other armed men accompany him to town. They intimidate Sickles into going along with the plan. He aids them in setting up the road block. They stop the convoy, which is led by Nucky's lieutenant Owen Sleater and Doyle. Gyp intimidates them into turning back. Sickles weakly rationalizes that there was nothing he could do to stop them when Sleater challenges his disloyalty. ("Spaghetti and Coffee")
