Former Fiji ‘House Dad’ and Mayor of Belle are both scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Former Fiji 'House Dad' John O'Neill and Mayor of Belle Daryl White Jr. are set to appear in court on Tuesday.
Daryl White Jr. is facing a pair of misdemeanor charges that were filed against him in December for allegedly stealing from the city.
The misdemeanor stealing and official misconduct charges come after the Maries County Sheriff's Office received a report of stolen items and obtained a search warrant for financial records and other evidence.
A search of the Mayor's office was completed by the Sheriff's Office.
According to the probable cause statement, White was allegedly seen taking several spray cans from the city’s road department garage. The statement also says a witness allegedly told law enforcement to check financial records and accused White of “misusing the city’s credit card again.”
A city employee claimed they saw White take a box containing 12 spray cans from the city’s road department garage and hasn’t seen the items since they were taken, court documents say.
White is set to appear at the Maries County Courthouse at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
Former Fiji "House Dad" John O'Neill is set to appear in court at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday as well.
O'Neill is charged with hazing causing life endangerment for his alleged role in the 2021 hazing incident that left Daniel Santulli disabled.
According to court documents, O'Neill allegedly participated in the Pledge Dad Reveal event by assisting in providing bulk amounts of alcohol to minors.
O'Neill was supposed to appear in court on January 22nd, but an ice storm closed to courthouse down, and the status hearing was rescheduled for February 13th.
