ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV/Gray News) - A warrant has been issued for Dr. Jill Stein after she failed to appear in court for a 2024 assault charge.

The charges stem from a Washington University campus protest on April 27, 2024.

Documents state that Officer Conroy approached on a bicycle, which Stein grabbed, leading to Officer Moore attempting to help. The bicycle hit Moore in the forearm, and while the bicycle was raised, Stein allegedly kicked Moore multiple times in the right leg near the groin. Moore was later diagnosed with a strain in his left forearm, a contusion in the back of his right leg and a groin injury.

St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Price Smith stated the following after the charges were initially filed in 2025: “I want to make it clear that these misdemeanor criminal charges are not a statement about the freedoms of speech or assembly, which we honor and uphold as part of our Constitution. They are not a statement about the subject of the protest, which was the situation in Gaza. These charges merely reflect our professional judgment that we have the evidence to prove these particular criminal charges beyond a reasonable doubt.”
