March 1 arraignment set for fired Neosho city manager

The arraignment for fired Neosho City Manager Jan Blase, charged with official misconduct, a misdemeanor, will be held 8:30 a.m. Monday, March 1, before Judge Greg Stremel in Newton County Circuit Court.

Blase was charged following a Newton County Sheriff's Department investigation into his alleged misuse of city funds, including shifting money into the general fund from a state highway department grant and from the hotel/motel tax.

Blase's firing was upheld by the Neosho City Council earlier this week.
