Ex-St. Louis Alderman Bosley Charged with Lying to Police Amid Ongoing Fraud Case

Bosley, previously indicted in a bribery scandal that imprisoned three other aldermen, now faces charges for falsely reporting a carjacking incident.

Former St. Louis alderman Brandon Bosley has been charged with lying to police about a carjacking incident last year.
Bosley had previously been indicted by federal officials in a fraud and bribery investigation that led to the imprisonment of three other former St. Louis aldermen last December.
The charge documents reveal that there was no evidence of an attempted carjacking and several parts of Bosley's story did not match the investigators' findings.
Bosley's case in federal court, where he was indicted on three counts of wire fraud related to a car insurance scheme, is still pending.
The three other former aldermen, sentenced to prison for accepting bribes in exchange for tax breaks and a reduced rate in obtaining a city-owned property, are Lewis Reed, Jeffrey Boyd, and John Collins-Muhammad.
