Why an activist is suing WashU and Eureka police for use of 'wanteds' after 2024 protest

from St. Louis on the Air

Months after a 2024 protest on Washington University’s campus, St. Louis resident Kaitlyn Killgo was arrested, without a warrant, in Eureka. She’s now suing the university and the officers who arrested her. The case involves a controversial system called “wanteds,” which allows Missouri officers to arrest suspects without a warrant — even when those arresting officers have no details about the alleged crime. We talk about the state of Missouri’s “wanteds” system, and how it continues to be used by Missouri police, with Kaitlyn Killgo and Arch City Defenders attorney Maureen Hanlon.
