Sept. 24 hearing set for Kansas City lawmaker

A 9 a.m. September 24 hearing has been scheduled in Moniteau County Circuit Court for Rep. Jeremy LaFaver, D-Kansas City, for his failure to appear in court in May on traffic charges.

LaFaver was arrested Sunday by the Missouri Highway Patrol for the failure to appear, as well as for possession of less than 35 grams or marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

LaFaver resigned from his position on the Democratic Victory Committe, but indicated he intends to remain in the House of Representatives.
