Bickl v. Smith

MARY RHODES RUSSELL, Chief Judge.

The Board of Police Commissioners, City of St. Louis (“Board”), appeals the judgment of the trial court reversing Board’s decision to suspend Officer Robert Bickl (“Bickl”) for ten days without pay. We find the Board’s decision was supported by competent and substantial evidence on the whole record. The judgment of the trial court is reversed, and the case is remanded with an order to reinstate the Board’s decision.

We review the evidence in a light most favorable to the Board’s decision. Kukuljan v. Metro. Bd. of Police Com’rs, 871 S.W.2d 119, 120…
