Good morning, Chesterfield.

The St. Louis County Animal Control and Adoption Center held a pet adoption event Friday evening at its Olivette facility—its first since the county resumed control.

Director Dr. Kanika Cunningham said the shelter returned over 100 animals to their owners and is working to boost future adoptions.

Spectrum Healthcare Resources in Creve Coeur said it will lay off 280 workers, including 206 field nurses and 71 counselors, after a federal contract was awarded to other vendors and the layoffs will take effect May 29.

A former officer sued the city of Chesterfield after alleging that her superior, Officer Lloyd Scott Freant, repeatedly sexually assaulted her in patrol vehicles, at a home and in the police department from spring 2019 until she quit in fall 2020 (she said colleagues witnessed many incidents) and her lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $25,000.

Local police will participate in the Drug Enforcement Administration's National Take Back Day on April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.—they will help residents dispose of expired or unwanted medications at drop-off sites in Ballwin, Chesterfield, Creve Coeur, Eureka and Pacific.
