A St. Louis police sergeant who was president of an organization that represents black St. Louis police officers when as much as $200,000 went missing has been suspended, authorities said.

The police department said Tuesday that Sgt. Darren Wilson was suspended Monday without pay, amid ongoing internal and criminal investigations into “financial irregularities” discovered by the Ethical Society of Police in December. City police did not say why Wilson was suspended and declined to comment further.
