Incident between Furrer,bicyclist places city ininternational spotlight

Accounts by mayor, bicyclist diverge widely

By MIKE ANTHONYExecutive Editor

The Crestwood Board of Aldermen re-cently postponed approval of minutes from its June 24 meeting after Ward 3 Alderman Bill Boston said he believed the minutes were “very incomplete.”

At the July 22 Board of Aldermen meet-

ing, Boston noted former Ward 3 Alderman Jerry Miguel had addressed aldermen dur-ing their June 24 meeting.

“... He spoke of six or seven deeply con-cerning events that took place at City Hall over the past 16 months. He spoke of these (events) in detail. Nothing of what Jerry spoke about to this board was put into the

minutes,” he said. “I do not know why all this information and his comments have been left out of the minutes from that 24th meeting. I believe the minutes are very in-complete, and I believe this public infor-mation needs to be put into the minutes for our next meeting.”

Green Park’s net positionsees increase of $742,000By MIKE ANTHONYExecutive Editor

The city of Green Park’s total net posi-tion increased by more than $742,000 in fiscal 2013, primarily due to infrastruc-ture improvements.

An audit performed by Hochschild, Bloom & Co. for fiscal 2013, which ended Dec. 31, reported the city’s total net position — the difference between assets and liabilities — increased by $742,097, or 6.8 percent.

The city ended 2013 with a total net position of $11,588,362, compared to $10,846,265 in fiscal 2012, according to Mike Williams of Hochschild, Bloom.

If hundreds of Oakville residents who have written to the Mehl-ville Board of Education get their wish, the board could become the first elected body in Missouri to adopt a resolution against coal energy tonight.

The board will hear presentations from Ameren Missouri, the Sierra Club and local group Clean Land, Air and Water, or CLAW, when it meets at 8 p.m. today — Aug. 7 — in the district’s

Administration Building, 3120 Lemay Ferry Road.Local residents from CLAW brought the resolution to the board

since Rogers Elementary School is close to Ameren’s Meramec Energy Center, which opened in 1953 at the intersection of the Meramec and Missouri rivers in Oakville. The district built Rogers in 1991.

Since the board’s first discussion of the resolution in May, Ameren’s board of directors voted to close the Meramec plant in

A bicyclist claimed that Sunset Hills Mayor Mark Furrer hit him with his car in an intentional hit-and-run last week, a charge the mayor denied and the St. Louis County Police Department is investigating.

Furrer and Fenton bicyclist Randy Murdick’s ac-

counts of what happened diverge widely.“The mayor of Sunset Hills told me to get off his

roads, then ran me over,” Murdick, an electrician and seasoned competitive cyclist, wrote on Facebook the night of the July 29 incident, in a post that went viral among bicycling circles nationwide.

Sunset Hills made national — and even inter-national — news last week when the allegation that Mayor Mark Furrer hit a bicyclist with his red Mercedes convertible after reportedly tell-ing the cyclist to “get off his roads” went viral.

Although the Sunset Hills Police Department voluntarily turned over the investigation of the July 29 incident to the St. Louis County Police Department two days later, bicyclists nation-wide scrutinized the local force’s handling of the case, poring over news accounts of the story and, before Furrer took it down, mining the mayor’s Facebook page for evidence.

“The perception is that the police are more interested in protecting the mayor than protecting the community — because had it been you, or me, or anybody other than the mayor driving that car, they would have been arrested on the spot and they would have been given a field sobriety test, and neither of those things happened,” Sunset Hills Triathlon sponsor and triathlon store owner Chip Self told the Call.

Concerned about Fenton competitive cyclist Randy Murdick’s alleged treatment and about their own safety on Sunset Hills roads, hundreds

‘I did not hit the bicycle guy,’Sunset Hills mayor tells Call(Continued from Page 1A)

Furrer countered that Murdick was the instigator and fell after he grabbed onto the mayor’s convertible of his own volition, after Furrer drove next to him and told him not to run a stop sign. The fall tore Mur-dick’s Achilles tendon.

Amid questions over whether the Sunset Hills Police Department could conduct an unbiased investigation, Police Chief William LaGrand asked the county to take over the investigation July 31. At the time the Call went to press, no charges had been filed or tickets issued in the incident.

The incident happened on Old Gravois Road in front of Delta Dental — near Fur-rer’s home and close to the site of the since-abandoned QuikTrip project that spurred Furrer, 60, to his surprising write-in victory last spring over former Mayor Bill Nolan.

Murdick told the Call his version of events is fully supported by three eyewit-nesses. The witnesses’ names are not yet public due to the ongoing investigation.

Murdick, 47, the defending state mountain-biking champion, was 35 miles into a train-ing ride when a man in a red Mercedes con-vertible, whom Murdick alleged was Furrer, pulled alongside him and started yelling.

“He just kept saying get off my f---ing road, get off my f---ing road,” Murdick told the Call. “Well, when I finally had enough of him, I told him to go f--- him-self, and with that he just snapped the car over, and it hit me in the leg. It hit me so hard I almost fell into the convertible and needless to say it freaked me out ...

“I kind of hooked the convertible and the bike went shooting out. As the bike is shooting out, he just nails (the gas pedal), and it flips me off the back of the car.”

The driver accelerated and drove off, and two men in a white truck chased down the mayor and made him return to the scene, Murdick said. A third witness who had stopped to help Murdick went to chase Furrer but could not catch up to the mayor, he added.

Furrer told the Call that the incident went much differently, however.

“I did not hit the bicycle guy,” he said. “I was coming through the three-way intersection and I stopped. This guy comes flying off the T (on a bicycle) and turns right in front of me on Gravois without stopping. I drove by him and said, ‘Hey man, you’re supposed to stop at the stop signs.’ And then he starts ‘MF’-ing me and ‘F you’ and all this stuff.

“He was hanging onto my door, riding along next to me, and then all of a sudden he let go — or I assume he let go — and I saw him tumble off into the grass,” Furrer continued. “There was no evidence on my car that there was any contact. There’s no scratch, there’s nothing to indicate I hit

him with the car. He’s saying I swerved into him.”

When Furrer saw Murdick fall down, he said there was no shoulder on Gravois where he could pull over to check on the bicyclist, so he made a U-turn at the next intersection and headed back to the scene, then was cut off by another driver, who yelled that Furrer had fled the scene.

“This guy’s alleging that he chased me down,” Furrer said. “That didn’t really happen.”

The Call obtained the recordings of the two 911 calls from the incident through a Sunshine Law request.

The first 911 call opened with someone who is not the caller shouting in the back-ground, “Pull over, pull over! You just hit that guy and took off!”

The caller, who identified himself as the son of the man shouting, told the emer-gency dispatcher, “I would like to report a hit and run over here on Old Gravois Road, right here by Delta Dental.” “Leaving the scene, or a hit and run?” the dispatcher asked. “The guy hit a bicyclist, drove off and then turned around and came back,” the caller responded.

Furrer’s voice does not appear on any of the recordings, and no mention is made that he is the mayor. Murdick did not real-ize that the driver was the mayor until he went to the Police Department later that night, he said. Murdick made the second call. When the dispatcher asked if he had any injuries, he replied, “I’m fine. The guy that ran me off the road’s here.”

Although no ambulance was called to the scene, Murdick told the Call he had blood running down his leg after the incident. He went to St. Anthony’s Medical Center 12 hours later and found out he had torn his Achilles tendon.

Murdick’s friend and fellow triathlete Chip Self, managing partner for triath-lon store Swim Bike Run, which is the title sponsor of the Sunset Hill Triathlon, told the Call that endurance athletes like Murdick regularly bike and run through pain and can endure injuries that other people are not able to, including a torn Achilles tendon.

Before the 4 p.m. incident, Furrer at-tended the lunch opening of Gordo’s Margaritas, the Mexican restaurant at the embattled Econo Lodge, which does not yet have its state liquor license.

“They’re reporting that I was drunk and that I fled the scene,” Furrer said. “I was absolutely not drunk, and I had not had any alcohol that day at all.”

In a since-deleted Facebook picture, Crest-wood Mayor Gregg Roby appears alongside Furrer at the opening of Gordo’s.

Whether or not Furrer had anything to drink, Murdick’s attorney Michelle Funk-enbusch maintained that a field sobriety test would have been standard protocol at the scene of any such incident.

Miguel outlines reasons whyhe’s lost confi dence in Sime(Continued from Page 1A)

The board then voted 7-0 to postpone approval of the minutes until its next meet-ing. Ward 2 Alderman Mary Stadter was absent.

Regarding Miguel’s comments at the June 24 meeting, the draft minutes stat-ed Miguel “approached the podium and shared his opinion of signifi cant events that had occurred over the last 16 months.”

But as reported by the Call, Miguel, who joined other aldermen in voting 7-0 to hire Sime in January 2013, cited a series of decisions made by Sime that have caused Miguel to lose confi dence in the city administrator.

Miguel said June 24 that he had been out of town for a couple of weeks and when he returned, he was surprised to read a headline in the Call that stated, “Sime declines to explain his attempt to reclassify Crestwood clerk’s post.”

In that article, the Call reported that Sime declined to explain publicly why he attempted earlier this year to reclassify the city clerk’s position as an unclassifi ed position — a change that appears to violate the city’s Charter.

In February, Sime proposed an ordinance to amend the city’s municipal code to make the city clerk’s position unclassifi ed, or exempt — the same status as elected offi cials, the city administrator and depart-ment heads, who are not covered under the city’s Civil Service Rules and Regulations.

But City Clerk Tina Flowers, who recent-ly resigned, wrote in a May 30 email sent to aldermen that she objected to Sime’s proposal and that it would directly confl ict with the city’s Charter, which states the city clerk “shall be a civil service employee.”

After reading the Call article, Miguel said, “It got me to thinking of the events of the past 16 months. I had full confi dence in you, Mr. Sime, when you were presented to the board. I grilled you intensively for an hour, and I had full confi dence in your ability to lead the city forward in a business-like manner.

“But I refl ected on the events of the past 16 months. First event was (eliminat-

ing) animal control. I fully supported that move. It was obvious to me that that was a duplication of services. I had no problems with that. I was a little bit surprised in how quickly it occurred, but nevertheless that had my full support.”

Next, Miguel cited Sime’s decision to outsource the city’s information technology services to ThrottleNet, which he “found understandable.”

“The third event was the pooling of the secretaries. Again understandable, but as I found out later, it was not very well-handled,” Miguel said.

The fourth event, Miguel said, was the “fi ring” of an employee.

“Questionable from the beginning — at least in my mind. The decision was reversed by the Civil Service Board. Obviously ... the fi ring was uncalled for,” he said.

“Fifth, the outsourcing of the fi nance department. Again, in my mind, a bad move from the get-go. I applaud the board for fi nally coming and voting 6 to nothing to reject that proposition ... But at the same time, I admonish the board for taking so long in which to do that, and I regret the persistence of the administration in pursu-ing that particular line.”

That issue, Miguel said, brought him “to the top of the hill. What pushed me over was what I saw when I came back — the attempt to reclassify the city clerk.”

Miguel, who served on the board from 2004 to 2013, asked Ward 1 Alderman Richard Breeding and Ward 2 Alderman Tim Trueblood if they recalled the reclas-sifi cation issue being raised about nine years ago.

“I think that issue came to the board when — about 2005. It was handled very appropriately at this board, at least as my recollection is concerned, was brought up, was discussed and the issue was dropped. As a result of these actions, Mr. Sime, my confi dence in you has been lost. I regret to say that. The question for the board — I present to the board is: What’s the next thing to be outsourced? Will it be police or will it be fi re? ...”

The Board of Aldermen will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12, at the Government Center, 1 Detjen Drive.

• 911In his 911 call, Murdick saysmotorist ‘ran me off the road’(Continued from Page 2A)that the person in the car was the mayor un-til he went to the Police Department later.

The fi rst 911 call opened with someone who is not the caller shouting in the back-ground, “Pull over, pull over! You just hit that guy and took off!”

The caller, who identifi ed himself as the son of the man shouting, told the emer-gency dispatcher, “I would like to report a hit-and-run over here on Old Gravois Road, right here by Delta Dental.”

“Leaving the scene, or a hit-and-run?” the dispatcher asked.

“The guy hit a bicyclist, drove off and then turned around and came back,” the caller responded.

As the call continued, the caller’s father

can be heard yelling in the background, until the dispatcher asked the caller to tell his father not to say anything to the driver.

“Dad, stop yelling,” the caller said.“If he has to continue that, he needs to

get in the car and close his mouth,” the dispatcher said.

Murdick told the Call that when he fi rst called 911, he was routed to a county dis-patcher, who then sent him to the Sunset Hills Police Department.

In the second call to Sunset Hills 911, Murdick told the dispatcher his location, and the dispatcher asked him if he was the bicyclist who had been hit by a car.

When the dispatcher asked if Murdick had any injuries, he replied, “I’m fi ne. The guy that ran me off the road’s here.”

“We will be there shortly — do not have words with the driver,” the dispatcher re-plied, before the call ended.

County Police Departmentnow heading investigation(Continued from Page 1A)of athletes associated with the St. Louis Triathlon Club who are set to compete in the Aug. 24 Sunset Hills Triathlon threat-ened to boycott the event because they did not feel safe on the roads or feel they would be given a “fair shake” if someone hit them, Self said.

Cyclists organized a group ride Saturday morning through the streets of Sunset Hills that ended at a City Hall rally attended by nearly 200 cyclists and most of the Sunset Hills Board of Aldermen.

The city’s police are directly supervised by the aldermen, not the mayor. Although Police Chief William LaGrand said he had full faith in his offi cers to conduct an unbi-ased investigation, he acknowledged that the situation gave the appearance of a con-fl ict of interest when he announced July 31 he was turning over the investigation.

Murdick, 47, a disabled veteran and de-fending state mountain-biking champion, disputed Furrer’s contention that he grabbed onto the convertible. He also disputed that city police offi cers treated the mayor the way they would any other citizen.

The Sunset Hills Police never inter-viewed Murdick at the scene or in the 48 hours they conducted the investigation afterward, and they let Furrer, 60, go after roughly 15 minutes — while Murdick and the eyewitnesses stayed at the scene for close to 90 minutes, the cyclist said.

“There were four or fi ve cop cars there — there were cops everywhere — and they just let (Furrer) drive away,” Murdick told the Call minutes before he got the call that the county police were taking over. “They didn’t ask (me) where the accident hap-pened, nothing ... The police to this second don’t know. They never asked.”

Asked directly if Sunset Hills offi cers took a statement from Murdick at the scene, LaGrand told the Call, “The county police have that now — I’m not going to replay what has happened.”

The police took a written statement from Furrer at the scene, and the mayor had no further contact with the Police Department after that, Furrer’s attorney, Chuck Billings, told the Call. Sunset Hills authorities found no evidence on the convertible of any contact with a bicycle, Furrer told the Call. Murdick said that is because the car hit his leg, not the $13,000 training bicycle.

The bike sustained $10,000 damage.By Murdick’s account, he did not know at

the time of the incident that the convertible driver was the mayor, and he later went to the Police Department with his attor-ney Michelle Funkenbusch to check why charges had not been brought, only to dis-cover that the driver was the city’s mayor.

County now investigatingAt Saturday’s rally, Funkenbusch noted

that she was impressed with the inves-tigation conducted by the county Police Department, which sent eight detectives to Old Gravois Road to investigate.

“These are the guys who usually investi-gate homicides,” she told a crowd that in-cluded all the city’s aldermen except Ward 3 Alderman Kurt Krueger. “They brought

out their fi nest in ties to investigate this to make sure they got the statements right, and I trust that they will do a fi ne job. And I believe they will tell you that the evidence supports the cyclist’s version of the facts in this case.”

The detective in charge of the case is Matthew Wilson of the Crimes Against Persons Unit, Funkenbusch told the Call.

The unit investigates all incidents that involve crimes where people are harmed, from armed robberies to homicides.

County police have no time line on when their investigation will be complete.

When it is, Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch’s offi ce will make a decision whether to charge Furrer, not county police, said police spokesman Brian Schellman.

City plans no statementAt the press conference announcing the

county was taking over the case, LaGrand said that Furrer did not receive special treat-ment and that a fi eld sobriety test would have only been conducted if the mayor had shown evidence of being intoxicated.

Since Furrer returned to the scene within a few minutes, he did not leave the scene of an accident, LaGrand noted.

Asked by the Call after the press confer-ence if he planned to investigate his force’s response to the incident, LaGrand asked if he was being recorded.

“Don’t record me,” he said.When the Call responded that it was a

press conference, LaGrand replied, “Fine, then. We’re done.”

City Attorney Robert E. Jones told the Call that beyond the press conference, no statement would be issued on the incident.

The Sunset Hills force has 26 police offi cers, including a third detective added by the city last year at LaGrand’s request. Initially, police offi cers told Murdick and the press that a police report on the inci-dent would take up to a week to provide — Furrer told the Call that the delay was apparently because two of the depart-ment’s three detectives were out of town.

Furrer was elected mayor in April as a last-minute write-in candidate, defeating former Mayor Bill Nolan with the help of a strong social media presence, including a Facebook page that he deleted last week in the wake of scorn and death threats directed toward him from people around the world.

If Furrer were to be charged and con-victed of a felony, he would have to forfeit his offi ce under a Missouri statute that prohibits felons from serving in elected offi ce. Unlike Crestwood, which prohibits a convicted felon from holding elected offi ce in its city Charter, Sunset Hills has no ordinance that mandates an elected offi -cial cannot be convicted of certain crimes, Jones said.

Furrer was open with his story midweek, posing for media outlets with his 1991 Mercedes convertible at City Hall.

“Even though everybody tells me I shouldn’t talk to the media, and I’m just naïve, I just hate it when a politician runs and hides,” Furrer told the Call. “I’m not going to not talk.”

Although Furrer talked to the Call right after the incident, by the end of the week his attorney was answering questions on his behalf, on Billings’ advice.

Prayer to theBlessed Virgin

(never known to fail) O, most beautiful fl ower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3X) Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confi rm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. (Must say this prayer 3 con-secutive days.) After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted!
