Judge Brockmeyer Takes Leave From Florissant Courts

[Sherman A1]

Judge had earlier resigned from Ferguson and Dellwood

In response to the resignation of Judge Ronald Brockmeyer as municipal judge in Ferguson and prosecutor in Dellwood, Florissant Mayor Tom Schneider has requested that Judge Brockmeyer take a leave of absence from the city’s municipal court. Schneider said Brockmeyer has accepted the leave of absence.

“We appreciate the seriousness of the current events and realize that Florissant does not exist in a vacuum,” the mayor said in a statement. “I intend to review all the pertinent elements that contribute to the successful administration of the business of the court and most importantly our elected Municipal Judge Dan Boyle.” The mayor said he would not interfere with “sovereign powers vested in our elected judge.” He hasn’t been able to talk to Judge Boyle (as of Tuesday night) because his wife was in labor delivering their first child.

The City of Ferguson received the resignation of Judge Brockmeyer on March 9. The resignation was effective immediately and the Missouri Supreme Court appointed Judge Roy L. Richter who began to preside over the Ferguson Municipal Court cases on Monday, March 16. The first court docket was to be on Thursday, March 19.
