2. Failure to Appear for Moving Violations
Missouri state lawmaker said she takes “full responsibility” for neglecting court cases over moving violations, which led to her arrest this week. Jefferson City police arrested St. Louis Rep. LaKeySha Bosley (D) on Monday after an officer pulled her over and discovered a warrant out for her arrest. She was released the same day after posting $300 bail. The warrant is for a no-show at a hearing for a speeding ticket last year in the southeastern Missouri county of Perry. A judge recalled the warrant Wednesday, according to court records. May 3, 2023
