COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The state is looking to revoked the POST license of a former Centralia police officer who is charged with several felonies.
Curtis Higby, of Mexico, Missouri, was charged earlier this year in Audrain County with two counts of first-degree domestic assault, a count of armed criminal action, tampering with evidence, third-degree domestic assault and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon.
Court documents in previous reporting say Higby repeatedly assaulted a woman from Feb. 1-Aug. 9.
Higby was fired from the Centralia Police Department on the day of his arrest. A jury trial is scheduled to begin 8:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 15.
A Peace Officer Standards and Training Program license is required in order to become a law enforcement officer in Missouri. The request to revoke Higby’s POST license was filed on Friday.
