Bosley, however, said Wednesday that a clerical error in Perry County is the reason she was taken to jail and required to post bond before being released.

As first reported March 2 in the Post-Dispatch, Bosley has been wanted in several Missouri counties for failure to appear in court on traffic violations. At that time, Bosley said she was clearing up the warrants situation.

But on Monday, a Jefferson City officer stopped Bosley for speeding at about 10:15 p.m. She received only a warning for the speeding, but a standard background check discovered that there still was an active warrant against her, Jefferson City police Lt. David Williams said.

After that, Bosley was arrested and taken to the Cole County Jail, where she was released after posting a $300 bond, said Capt. Kevin Woodson of the Cole County Sheriff’s Department.

Bosley told the Post-Dispatch she was “completely shocked� to find out she still had a warrant against her, and thought that the situation had been resolved.

On Wednesday, Bosley said that confusion about the specific case number in Perry County allowed the warrant to remain outstanding.

“We had filed what needed to be filed to have the warrant recalled, but there was a clerical error� in Perry County, she said.

When the original story was first published, Bosley said that she had a lawyer file recall requests on two outstanding warrants. Her attorney is former St. Louis Mayor Freeman R. Bosley Jr., who is her half-brother.

The Perry County Circuit Clerk’s office said Wednesday that court records show that Bosley Jr. had filed officially on March 2 as his half-sister’s attorney, but that the recall of the warrant was not requested until May 2.

In a statement, Bosley said she was making sure “all matters related to this situation are settled to the satisfaction of the relevant legal authorities.�

Among her state legislative committee assignments, Bosley is a member of the Crime Prevention and Public Safety committee and the Special Committee on Government Accountability.

Her father is former St. Louis Alderman Freeman Bosley Sr. Former Alderman Brandon Bosley is her brother.

After her arrest Monday night, there were some changes in two of her pending traffic cases, including the one from Perry County:

That situation arose in March 2022, when Bosley was cited for speeding by more than 15 mph above the limit. After failing twice to appear in court, an arrest warrant was issued in May 2022 and bond was set at $300.

Two other cases involving traffic violations by Bosley also are reflected on Casenet.

• On a warrant issued in 2021 by Boone County, Casenet showed on Tuesday that a court appearance for Bosley has been set for May 10 in Columbia Municipal Court. That case involves an incident in July 2021, when Bosley was cited by Columbia police for operating an unlicensed motor vehicle. After being granted two continuances, and failing to appear on both dates, a warrant was issued in September 2021. Bond has been set at $125.

The oldest of the outstanding warrants against Bosley dates back more than six years. That warrant stems from an incident in November 2016, when Bosley was cited by Pine Lawn police for speeding by more than 15 mph.

After she failed to appear in municipal court on the charge, a warrant was issued in February 2017 and bond is set at $100. No action on the case has been taken since then, Casenet shows.
