Former Kinloch Mayor Indicted for Lying on Employment Records
St. Louis, MO – Former Kinloch Mayor Keith Conway has been hit with federal charges of falsifying employment records while completing his original sentence at a St. Louis halfway house, the Dismas House.
According to the indictment, on May 1, 2013, the United States Bureau of Prisons transferred Conway from its prison facility at Marion, Illinois, to the Dismas House residential reentry center in St. Louis.
As a resident of Dismas House, Conway was required to seek and obtain full-time employment and to submit paycheck stubs to verify that employment to the Dismas House Program Director. However, Conway allegedly falsely represented that he had obtained full-time employment and was permitted to leave the Dismas House premises during his purported work hours.
Conway was originally sentenced to 21 months in prison in November 2011 on charges of using Kinloch city funds to pay personal expenses, fund personal travel, purchase a Florida vacation condominium timeshare, and attempting to influence Kinloch City officials to provide false information to federal law enforcement about the criminal charges pending against him.
Conway was indicted by a federal grand jury on four felony counts of filing false documents. If convicted, each count carries a maximum penalty of 5 years and/or fines up to $250,000.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation-Public Corruption Unit, including officers of the St. Louis County Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Hal Goldsmith is handling the case for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
As is always the case, charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations and do not constitute proof of guilt. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty.
