The Trials & Tribulations of STL Sheriff Alfred Montgomery

St. Louis Sheriff Alfred Montgomery is sleeping in a federal lockup while fighting to keep his elected job—and St. Louis Post-Dispatch crime reporter Katie Kull was in court every single day of his state removal trial.

In this episode of The Brighter Side of Blue, Katie joins us to break down the state civil removal trial, how it ties into the federal criminal case, and what she saw inside the courtroom:

-Why an elected sheriff is being brought to court from federal custody

-The handcuffing incident with a city jail commissioner

-Allegations of misuse of staff, budget issues, and transport duties

-How witnesses, politics, and public safety all collide in this case

🕒 Katie Kull’s interview starts at 50:37.

Before Katie sits down, we open the show with former pro baseball player Brian Howard (Danny’s son) to talk about legal sports gambling in Missouri, the recent NBA gambling scandals, shady poker setups, and how athletes get pulled into bad spots when gambling and money get out of control.

It’s classic Brighter Side of Blue: barstool banter, real-world law enforcement perspective, and a front-row seat to one of the wildest public-official stories in recent STL memory.

Communities that support law enforcement are safer places to live.
