a week late
posting this
report. Here
are the
numbers for
2020.
They are
dramatically
down. Pages 8

Pages 9-14

THERE
WILL
BE NO
MUNICIPAL
ELECTION RACES
IN TOWN AND
COUNTRY FOR
2021.
Tiffany
Frautschi,
the early
favorite for
mayor, removed
her name on
the last
day for
filing. So did
Alderman Jon
Benigas. All
the Town
and
Country ward
races
and the
mayor’s race
now have just
one candidate.
Pages
14 & 15

WAYS
AND MEANS
COMMISSION
MEETING WAS
MORE LIKE THE
WEIGHS AND
MEANS
MEETING. One
member
speaking in
opposition to
a petition
drive by
residents for
a
State Auditor
audit of
spending on
Town and
Country
projects did
not
have a clue
what she was
talking about
and nobody
bothered to
tell
her. Pages
15-19

CHESTERFIELD
POLICE
BLOTTER: We
start
off with
everyone’s
favorite. See
what crimes
are being
committed, who
is being
arrested, what
their arrest
record is and
whose car or
catalytic
converter was
stolen. Also
there was one
incident where
someone
deserves an
award from the
police. See if
you
can find it.
Pages 20-33

THE
CHESTERFIELD
CANDIDATES: See
who
is running,
who dropped
out and who is
not running
for reelection
to the
council, but
for mayor. One
guy who helped
the city make
headlines for
illegally
hiding leases
and
legislative
actions has
resurfaced.
Mike Casey
filed for
mayor. Pages
33-41

THE
CITY
COUNCIL
MEETING WAS
ALL ABOUT
TRASH. Actually
there
were a lot of
first read
bills with no
discussion.
Things came
to a stop when
trash
collection
came up for a
vote. Pages
41-43

suddenly found
some people
driving at
speeds in

David
Cerna Case
FORMER
CHESTERFIELD
POLICE OFFICER DAVID CERNA, COP, SEX
PERVERT, VIDEO PRODUCER AND WEBSITE
OWNER! NOW READ THE INVESTIGATIVE
REPORT
October
14,
2017 – KTVI newsman Chris Hayes got a
tip and broke the case that someone was
video recording people urinating in the
men’s bathroom on the Mobil on the Run
in Chesterfield on Clarkson Road. He
turned his evidence over to the
Chesterfield Police.
A
thorough investigation determined that
Chesterfield Officer David Cerna while
on duty had been hiding a camera in the
bathroom recording men’s penises at the
urinal. The Mobil station was a favorite
place for police officers to take a
bathroom break and at least seven
officers were also recorded.
A search
warrant of Cerna’s house in Wentzville
resulted in computers being seized.
There the bathroom images, along with
recordings of Cerna using a glory hole
at his house and performing anonymous
oral sex on people responding to
messages on websites were found. All
these images were placed on a website
run by Cerna.
More
troubling were secret recordings of
officers changing clothes in the
Chesterfield Police locker room,
people, including juvenile males
wearing sweat pants or shorts being
frisked by Cerna and having their
pants pulled out at the waist and
their genitals secretly recorded by
Cerna using a small recording
device.
Cerna
pled
guilty to:
2 counts
of Felony Invasion of Privacy
in St. Charles CO Sentenced to 60
days jail.
Felony Invasion of
Privacy Multiple Persons St.
Louis County Sentenced to 4
Years prison but placed on 5-years
probation.
Misdemeanor
Invasion of Privacy St. Louis
County. Sentenced to 1-year jail
no probation.
Felony Sexual
Exploitation of a Minor St.
Louis County. Sentenced to
10-years prison but placed on 5 year
probation term.
Felony
Invasion of Privacy Multiple Persons
St. Louis County. Sentenced to
4-years prison but placed on 5-years
probation.
Cerna appealed
the sentence for Sexual Exploitation
of Minor to the Missouri Court of
Appeals of the Eastern District. His
appeal was denied and the judgment and
sentence was affirmed on July 25,
2017.
The final notation on the case was
entered by the courts in September of
2017.
I filed a
Sunshine Request to obtain the
investigative report in September and
received a copy of the report on
October 13, 2017.
