Student-Government President in Missouri May Face Impeachment After Felony Plea

I am a crook, but I am also a student.

Students at the University of Missouri at St. Louis are calling for the impeachment of the student-government president after discovering that he's a convicted felon. On the same day in April that Darwin Butler was elected president, he pleaded guilty to felony theft charges for stealing a credit card and using it to purchase a computer system.

Mr. Butler was allowed to stay in school under a work-release program.
