An interesting bit on Sgt. James Kuehlein

Remember him? The "Only One" from St George MO who threatened to invent charges against Brett Darrow? Turns out that several officers from St. Louis are in my unit and are quite familiar w/ him. According to them, he had a history of abusing his authority, acting like an ass, and harassing people.* One story they told me was that they found him sitting on his squad car, smoking a cigarette, and blocking the access to a public drive. When they asked him to move, he got belligerent and claimed he had jurisdiction anywhere in the state.

While they aren't fond of Darrow (he apparently has a history of cop baiting according to them), none of the ones I spoke to were upset at Kuehlein's firing.
