JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A St. Louis Post-Dispatch journalist will not be charged after pointing out a weakness in a state computer database, the prosecuting attorney for Cole County said Friday.
Prosecutor Locke Thompson issued a statement to television station KRCG Friday, saying he appreciated Gov. Mike Parson for forwarding his concerns but would not be filing charges.
The decision was reached almost seven weeks after Thompson’s office received a report on the incident from the Missouri Highway Patrol, which had been tasked with the probe by the governor last year.
