THE KING IS COMING
The First Capitol News learned at press time Dave King, former Police Chief of St. Charles, is expected back in town Monday. King, a close friend of City Administrator Alan Williams, will help Williams in a search for a police chief.
Apparently, Williams will not be offering Gerald Wurm, a Captain with the St. Louis Police Department, to the Council as his selection as St. Charles Police Chief. A City Hall source told us that Williams was not aware that Wurm was the District Commander for Officer Adrian York, the son of Mayor York, until informed by several Council members.
The St. Charles Police Officers Association and the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police, headed by St. Charles Police Sergeant Tom Mayer, were constantly at odds with King when he was St. Charles Chief. They apparently wanted to run the police department and King was just as determined they would not.
We have been told that Mayer and the FOP were responsible for King being removed as Chief of Police.
