Springfield resident Robert M. Brantley filed an ethics complaint against against Greene County Circuit Court Clerk Michael Carr last week. The 7-page complaint received by the Missouri Ethics Commission on Monday follows up two ongoing criminal investigations of Carr by the Greene County Sheriff's Department for fraud. 

Brantley filed the complaint because local authorities were not taking appropriate action to hold Carr accountable.

According to Brantley, a package containing the complaint has also been delivered to Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon's office, Greene County Prosecutor Darryl L. Moore's office, and Greene County Presiding Commissioner Dave Coonrod's office encouraging their immediate involvement.

"The Public Defender and Presiding Commissioner have been aware of Carr's self admittedly illegal activity for years but seem unwilling to do anything about it," Brantley said. "I hope that with this formal filing of a complaint those responsible for pursuing justice will be better motivated to do their job."
