Major Kyle Kelley filed a lawsuit against the City of O’Fallon in 2018, alleging discrimination, retaliation, and defamation. The lawsuit claimed that city officials attempted to discredit high-ranking officers and covered up a theft investigation involving a city employee. In January 2021, the city settled with Kelley for $280,000.
