Noel marshal loses bid to have city pay attorney fees

Evenson had argued during the proceedings that the city had no policy or ordinance to regulate the marshal’s spending. The contracts and credit-card bills were approved by the board and paid monthly, he said.

In all, the Board of Aldermen met six times during the impeachment proceedings, beginning April 25, 2007, and ending with the failed vote on June 26, 2007.

A separate controversy arose several months later, when Amos and two deputies were charged with misdemeanor animal abuse after two dogs were found dead in mid-August in a city-owned pen. They had died of starvation and dehydration.

According to testimony at Amos’ court trial in December, the dogs were supposed to be taken to a Neosho animal shelter to be killed on Aug. 1, but they were not, and because of miscommunication, no one realized that they were still at the city pen. Jurors acquitted Amos after deliberating for only 28 minutes.

After his acquittal, the charges against the two deputies were dropped.

By the numbers

Ellsworth “Ozzie” Amos was elected by the people of Noel to a four-year term as city marshal in April 2005. His annual salary is about $24,000.
