Missouri AG Takes Steps to Oust St. Louis Sheriff

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, JUN 25 – Missouri Attorney General cites six counts including nepotism and financial mismanagement against St. Louis Sheriff, with over 59 documented failures to transport inmates for medical care.

  • On June 24, 2025, St. Louis Sheriff Alfred Montgomery publicly declared he will not resign amid calls for his removal at the Civil Courts Building.
  • Andrew Bailey, Missouri’s Attorney General, submitted a 90-page quo warranto petition accusing Montgomery of six counts of misconduct and abuse of power after the sheriff declined to step down.
  • Bailey's allegations against Montgomery include nepotism involving the hiring of his half-brother Malik Taylor, unlawful arrests of jail officials, neglecting to provide inmates with necessary medical transportation, improper use of government resources, and financial mismanagement.
  • Bailey emphasized that the extent of alleged wrongdoing and turmoil necessitates prompt responsibility and expressed a desire for Montgomery to step down, while Montgomery denied the accusations as completely false and stated his intention to contest them in court.
  • All judges in the 22nd circuit recused themselves, so the state supreme court will appoint a judge, with a first hearing scheduled and a preliminary order likely to remove Montgomery pending litigation.
