ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — The Bellefontaine Neighbors police officer being investigated for “inappropriate activity” is no longer employed by the department, a statement said Wednesday.

The police department in north St. Louis County said it was notified that the officer “was allegedly involved in inappropriate activity while in the City of St. Charles,” according to a news release. The department learned of the allegation on Sunday.

The Bellefontaine Neighbors Police Department is working with investigators in St. Charles and St. Charles County, along with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and federal law enforcement agencies.

The department said the officer was placed on administrative leave, but later released an updated press release saying the officer was no longer employed by the police department.

"The police officer with this Department that was allegedly involved in inappropriate activity while in the City of St. Charles is no longer employed by the City of Bellefontaine Neighbors Police Department," the department said in a statement.
