Former Employee Sues Ex-Sheriff | St. Louis News

A former St. Louis sheriff’s office employee is suing ex-sheriff Alfred Montgomery, alleging she was fired and barred from courthouses after cooperating with investigators. The lawsuit claims she was interrogated, denied support, and terminated unfairly — with Montgomery allegedly referencing her firing in a secret voice memo. Syas, a woman over 40, accuses the sheriff of gender and age discrimination, retaliation for whistleblowing, and even slander, seeking $25,000 in damages. Montgomery, already removed from office and facing federal charges, has filed a motion to dismiss. Neither Syas’ lawyer nor the city has responded — and the case underscores the high stakes when misconduct surfaces.
