Mayor accused of stealing skid steer from dead man
ST. MARY, Mo. – In the small Mississippi river town of St. Mary, police investigators say the mayor stole an $18,000 skid steer—a piece of equipment used for digging and hauling. Missouri Highway Patrol investigators said it was on a property on Cemetery Road and that the deceased man's heirs went to get it and could not find it. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now FOX 2 visited the home of mayor Adam Bequette, who's now charged with felony theft and tampering. A public works truck showed up after we arrived. The worker told us he couldn't talk, and mayor Bequette did not come out. Court records say defendant Bequette claimed the skid steer was blocking access to utilities and that he also said that he'd contacted the deceased man's family before taking it. Police investigators report finding no evidence of either. American Idol alum launches Coffee Girl shop in Waterloo Bequette was also once a licensed police officer—until recent action by the Missouri Attorney General. The Attorney General filed a complaint in September 2024, attempting to strip or discipline Bequette's police license because of two reports of domestic violence. Court records show that Bequette did not respond, and the Attorney General was awarded a default judgment. City Hall was closed because of Juneteenth, but court records indicate Bequette's past was the talk of city employees, who reportedly said the mayor told them he was not going back to jail. A judge denied police and prosecutor requests to lock up Bequette on the charges. Instead, he's been served with a court date to show up for his initial appearance on July 16.
