Missouri Judge Removes Ray County Prosecutor as Attorney General Alleges Misconduct
The petition alleges a pattern of misconduct and conflicts of interest, and a judge ordered Johnston’s immediate removal.
- On Thursday, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway filed a petition for a writ of quo warranto to remove Ray County Prosecuting Attorney Camille Johnston from office, alleging a pattern of misconduct and neglect of duty.
- Hanaway alleges Johnston engaged in undisclosed romantic relationships with a criminal defense attorney and a sexual assault suspect, created an atmosphere of intimidation, and transferred her vehicle title to help a suspect flee.
- The petition, filed under State law, argues Johnston's conduct was "knowingly and willfully" negligent, creating conflicts that risked her ability to represent Ray County citizens properly.
- 43rd Circuit Court Judge Daren Adkins issued a preliminary order immediately barring Johnston from exercising any authority as Ray County Prosecuting Attorney, granting her 10 days to file an answer.
- The court will determine if Johnston is permanently removed while her Office stated, "We will not be making any statements or comments at this time," according to Gardner.
