According to KMOV4
News 4 checked for charges against Page or any other individual seen on video during the incident at the statue, but so far, none have been filed.
The St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office has declined requests for interviews, citing the ongoing investigation. Police also declined to answer specific questions about why there were no arrests at this time.
News 4 did hear from the Democratic challenger for St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office seat. Mary Pat Carl told News 4 she thought Kim Gardner was failing to act, by making a statement immediately after the incident.
“I think it’s another example of our Circuit Attorney being willing to grab a headline, but not do the work of the Circuit Attorney’s Office,” Carl said.
She says she would have to look at all the facts before judging this or any other potential crime. But she tells News 4, she’s surprised that Gardner would speak out on the statue incident, but not the recent incidents of gun violence, particularly on children.
“We are facing some tough issues, but I think our priority should be on people afraid to leave their homes, I think they all deserve to be around the table, but what I see is a lack of people talking about our kids getting shot at and our murder rate climbing,” Carl said.
ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) — The video of a scuffle at the base of the iconic St. Louis statute initially caught the attention of the city’s top leaders. But more than a week after it happened, some say they’re shocked no one has been charged.
