Police Injustice
James T. Schrimpsher was a Rolla officer and Phelps County deputy with a notorious reputation for lying, physically assaulting citizens. planting drugs, and other heinous acts while employed in the State of Missouri. No official held Schrimpsher accountable for his actions against Missourians. Mounting civil suits of excessive force were settled out of court. Schrimpsher's behavior "rewarded" him to be transferred outside of Missouri. Washington state citizens then experienced the notorious behavior Missourians experienced.
