Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / May 14, 2025
TERRY METCALF, Plaintiff-Appellant v. FLORENCE LORENE BEARD, et al., Defendants-Respondents
Terry Metcalf sued four government employees in their individual and official capacities for various torts, including malicious prosecution, negligence, and tortious interference, stemming from an audit and attempted prosecution related to his service on a road district board. The trial court dismissed all claims. The appellate court affirmed the dismissal, holding that Metcalf's claims were barred by sovereign immunity, official immunity, and the public duty doctrine, as he failed to establish any waiver of immunity or sufficiently plead exceptions.
