Healea Could Get A Special Prosecutor

A special prosecutor may soon be appointed to decide charges against Moniteau County Prosecuting Attorney Shane Healea who was arrested over the weekend for crashing his truck into Addison’s restaurant in Columbia, injuring four people. Boone County Prosecutor Dan Knight is recusing himself from the case as both he and Healea serve together on the board of the Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys. Knight is the Association’s President and Healea is the President Elect of its Board of Directors. Healea has been charged with felony assault in the second degree and leaving the scene of an accident.
