Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Sep 2, 2025
Colin Rumpsa, Appellant, vs. Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, et al., Respondents.
Colin Rumpsa, a former deputy, sued the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department and others, alleging violations of the Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights (LEOBOR) during his termination process. The circuit court dismissed his petition, finding his claims were barred by the LEOBOR's one-year statute of limitations. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the limitations period begins when the violation itself is ascertainable, not when the resulting damage or final employment action is sustained.
