Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe has appointed Zachary Armfield of Rolla as the new judge for the 25th Judicial Circuit. Armfield, currently the assistant prosecuting attorney for Pulaski County, will assume the position of Circuit Judge, according to the Office of the Governor.

Armfield’s experience handling assault, domestic assault, and other violent crime cases is expected to strengthen the 25th Judicial Circuit’s ability to address such offenses. He previously worked as a senior public defender for the State of Missouri in Rolla and is actively involved in the community as a member of the Rolla Lions Club.

The new Circuit Judge holds a strong educational background, earning a bachelor’s degree in history from Duke University and a law degree from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis.
