Former Callaway County Sheriff Clay Chism has started a new role with the City of Auxvasse.
The city on Wednesday shared on its social media that Chism started working as the city’s program administrator in February.
“Please welcome Clay Chism as our newest addition to the City of Auxvasse. Clay started with us in February of this year and primarily serves as the new Program Administrator for the city; researching, completing the application process, and administering state and federal grants to support City operations that will best serve our community,” the post says.
The post also says that Chism assists the city administrator “with various duties across all city departments.”
Chism was removed from his position as the active Callaway County sheriff in June 2023 after his peace officer’s license was suspended after he was drunk both on and off the clock. Chism pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DWI in one of those instances from a 2022 Randolph County case.
He submitted his letter of resignation in April 2024.
