Former Morgan County prosecutor has law license suspended

VERSAILLES, Mo. -- The former Morgan County prosecutor, who pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution, has lost his law license.

The Missouri Supreme Court on June 27 indefinitely suspended the law license of Stephen Concannon, 33, who resigned last year under pressure from Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon.

Nixon alleged that Concannon used his office phone to solicit sex from a woman in exchange for helping her with her divorce. The woman was an undercover Livingston County police officer.

Under a plea agreement in April, Concannon was fined $300 but was not required to serve any jail time.

In 2001, Concannon pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace after he allegedly made death threats against his ex-girlfriend. He was fined $100 and had to apologize.

And in November 2001, the Missouri Bar reprimanded Concannon for failing to meet continuing education requirements.
