Morris is facing multiple charges related to his alleged crash involving a city owned vehicle in 2023.

Court documents further report that Morris is accused of interfering with the crash investigation while serving as the city’s 911 Director. This includes allegations that he failed to submit a drug and alcohol test after a crash and possibly altering public documents.
