ST. LOUIS – An arrest warrant was issued last Friday for an O’Fallon, Missouri, man accused of stealing his ex-wife’s pension.
According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s probable cause statement, the crime took place on Feb. 8, 2022, at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local #1 on Elizabeth Avenue in The Hill.
