Alfred Montgomery

St. Louis sheriff's lawyers said it cost $6,852.54 for U.S. marshals to transport Alfred Montgomery to and from jail during the five-day trial.

The trial in the Missouri attorney general's effort to remove St. Louis' elected sheriff came to a close on Tuesday after more than 30 witnesses took the stand over a week. Here's what happened.

Former Master Sgt. Bryan Robins said he heard acting Jail Commissioner Tammy Ross say something like "go ahead and ‘cuff me'" during a confrontation with Sheriff Alfred Montgomery.

Federal case creates "disturbing" challenges while weighing St. Louis sheriff’s removal, judge says during the third day of trial.

The second full day of the trial over the Missouri attorney general’s attempt to permanently remove St. Louis Sheriff Alfred Montgomery got off to a rocky start filled with yelling, accusations of retaliation and testimony from deputies.

The first full day of St. Louis Sheriff Alfred Montgomery’s removal trial brought testimony from deputy jail boss Tammy Ross, former Capt. Anthony Anderson and others.

A judge delayed the long-awaited trial to determine whether St. Louis Sheriff Alfred Montgomery should be removed from office because he was in jail, but a late Tuesday agreement will allow the sheriff to be in court moving forward.

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway has also argued St. Louis should abolish the office altogether.

“We don't need a sheriff in the city of St. Louis, but we especially don't need this sheriff,” Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said Thursday.

The Missouri attorney general’s quest to oust Montgomery permanently is scheduled for trial next month.
