Mayor Impeached and Removed from Office
September 29, 2023 | Missouri
A Missouri mayor was impeached and removed from office after he allegedly threatened an alderman with a gun, according to reports.
FOX 4 Kansas City reported that Greenwood Mayor Levi Weaver was unanimously voted out of office Tuesday by the Greenwood Board of Aldermen.
The three-member board met at City Hall, where deliberations lasted longer than two hours.
In October 2022, the aldermen impeached Weaver on three counts, including brandishing a gun during a conflict, infringing on First Amendment rights by blocking people from the city’s Facebook page, and being loose with business licensing rules and possibly violating Jackson County health codes, the station reported.
