Former St. Louis Mayor Freeman R. Bosley Jr. — who is trying to get back his law license after it was suspended for financial irregularities — has been hit with a tax lien.

In a lien filed Friday in St. Louis Circuit Court, the Missouri Department of Revenue claims Bosley owes $3,159 in individual income taxes, mostly from 2012 through 2014. The actual tax amount is $2,410, but the lien claims $749 in interest and other charges.

Bosley could not be reached for comment.

This lien comes eight weeks after Bosley applied to the Missouri Supreme Court to have his law license restored.

Alan Pratzel, the state's chief disciplinary counsel, said Bosley applied for reinstatement on Feb. 1. Pratzel said his office now is preparing a report on Bosley to submit to the court, but said he could make no other comments.
