COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

An associate judge has named Jeff Smith as the interim Miller County prosecutor.

The order appointing Smith was made by 26th Judicial Circuit Presiding Judge Aaron G. Koeppen. Smith will take on the roles until Gov. Mike Kehoe makes an appointment.

The appointment was necessary after Prosecutor Matthew Howard died on Monday. He was 64.  

The prosecutor position is up for election in the Aug. 4 primary. The last day to file was Tuesday. County Clerk Clinton Jenkins told ABC 17 News that one person, Robert Seek, filed to run on Tuesday.
