Officer Zachariah Foltz appealed the circuit court's judgment affirming his termination from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. He argued he was denied due process and his Fifth Amendment rights were violated. The appellate court found that while due process was afforded, the Department improperly forced Officer Foltz to choose between his employment and his Fifth Amendment rights by ordering him to make a statement to a criminal investigator without immunity. The court reversed the circuit court's judgment and remanded the case for the Civil Service Commission to reconsider the appropriate sanction based on the remaining lawful grounds for termination.
