ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) – The Missouri Attorney General on Thursday added a new count against Sheriff Alfred Montgomery in the case to remove him from the St. Louis Sheriff’s Office.

“The fact remains; it is impossible for Montgomery to fulfill his duties while he is incarcerated miles outside of the city he is supposed to protect,” Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said in a press release. “He has failed citizens, detainees, and his own staff for far too long.
