The answer to this question depends upon the particular facts and circumstances. Attorneys have some degree of immunity, but deliberately lying to law enforcement during the course of a criminal investigation could theoretically, under the right circumstances, constitute obstruction of Justice.

Missouri has a strict law about when a final paycheck is due but I’m unaware of any statute governing the timing of pay while you are still employed. If your employer cannot afford to pay you or won’t timely pay you, maybe it’s time to look for another job rather than wait to be terminated.
