St. Louis, MO – People can now help Rochell Moore pay legal costs. The St. Louis school board member has set up a legal defense fund.
Moore was arrested nearly two weeks ago after she threw water on assistant superintendent Charlene Jones. Moore was later released.
Moore was also charged with misdemeanor harassment for making threatening phone calls to fellow board member Amy Hilgemann.
A group of St. Louisans is suing to have Moore removed from the school board, saying she engaged in gross misconduct. Moore says the allegations have been grossly exaggerated.
