Members of a north St. Louis County city council are in favor of removing their mayor after months of dysfunction, according to a recall petition.
The mayor of Jennings is defending his actions after resignations, a lawsuit, and an attempt to cancel a council meeting.
This comes after five councilmembers circulated a letter last week saying they were planning to take a vote of no confidence in the mayor.
A 'no confidence' vote is expected to take place Monday, Aug. 28 at the city council meeting. 5 On Your Side reached out to Johnson for an interview or statement.
St. Louis County PD said the incident happened the morning of Feb. 19 near the 9000 block of Clarion Drive in Jennings.
