JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Attorney General filed a petition Thursday in an effort to remove the Iron County Sheriff Jeffrey Burkett from office.Burkett and two other Iron County deputies were arrested in March and accused of helping a man in a parental kidnapping plot.Charging documents say that in February, a 62-year-old man named Donald Gaston sought to take his daughter after an argument with the child’s mother.

Ultimately, the girl remained with her mother. Revisting Mike Shildt’s comments on his Cardinals departure Bailey's petition alleges that Burkett is unfit to hold office after allegedly helping Gaston in a plot to kidnap the child. “As Attorney General, I will always work to hold accountable those who refuse to do their job as required by Missouri statute,” said Attorney General Bailey. “Missourians hav...
