JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A court case filed against the Cole County's Sheriff's Office was dismissed with prejudice on Monday.

The Cole County Sheriff's Office and Cole County Sheriff John Wheeler were listed as defendants on Casenet. They appeared by counsel. The plaintiff, Brandon McNeese, did not appear.

McNeese, of St. Louis, claimed the department and Wheeler did not give the highest degree of care after he allegedly shot himself in the Cole County Jail in 2021.
