A man charged with murder in the 2024 death of an Osage Beach police officer is facing more charges.
Christopher Wehmeyer, of Camdenton, is now charged with aggravated fleeing, second-degree felony murder drug possession, unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action in the death of Officer Phylicia Carson.
A motion for a change of venue was filed by the defense on Wednesday and a trial setting was scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10.
Carson died after she lost control of her vehicle while chasing Wehmeyer on Aug. 31, 2024. She was pronounced dead at the scene, according to previous reporting.
Wehmeyer allegedly told investigators that he was racing and chose not to stop when he saw police lights. The chase reached more than 100 miles per hours as it went through Camden County.
