JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A former Missouri state patrol trooper who was driving a boat when an Iowa man fell out and drowned has received the last payment of a financial settlement he reached with the state.
In February, Anthony Piercy accepted a $201,000 settlement of lawsuits he filed as he tried to get his job back.
He lost his law enforcement license after he pleaded guilty in 2017 to a misdemeanor boat violation in the 2014 death of 20-year-old Brandon Ellingson, of Clive, Iowa who drowned at the Lake of the Ozarks.
In return for the settlement, Piercy agreed to not be reinstated as an officer.
