The Administrative Hearing Commission will hear a complaint against bondsman James Cox on June 19th at 1:00 pm. Cox, formerly a police officer, pled guilty in 2004 on federal charges for conspiracy to violate civil rights. According to the US Attorney’s press release, Cox accepted cash to arrange an arrest on a false charge and planted drug evidence. Cox writes bonds for his father, Gerald Cox of St. Charles. The Missouri Department of Insurance filed a complaint with the AHC asking to discipline Cox’s bail bond license because of the felony convictions. An interesting account and details of Cox's arrest and conviction can be found at the Crime Scene KC blog.
Two other hearings were held in May for bondsmen convicted of felonies. The AHC has not ruled on those cases.
Next month the AHC will hear the complaint against Virgil Lee Jackson. Jackson, also a convicted felon, stands accused of conspiring to murder Gerald Cox.
