Pima County Sheriff Refuses to Release Shooter's Past Police Reports
2011-01-12
Sheriff's Department and community-college officials in Pima County are refusing to release a wide range of public documents about the man charged in Saturday's shooting rampage that left six dead and more than a dozen wounded.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department and Pima Community College have declined to release documents that could shed light on run-ins they had with 22-year-old Jared Loughner in the months prior to the shooting.

The Arizona Public Records Law requires that records be "open to inspection by any person at all times" unless officials can prove releasing the information would violate rights of privacy or confidentiality or otherwise harm the best interests of the state.

The Arizona Republic requested that records, including incident reports on campus and calls for dispatch of deputies to Loughner's home, be released under the law. Such reports are often released as a matter of course in criminal cases.

  • Let the subpoenas fly

  • Records will all be released eventually

  • Plenty of outside statements already exist about prior 911 calls

  • Sheriff Dipschitz has already proven he's a distorting SOB

    Oh, that's right. Assange doesn't care about anything that doesn't hurt the US
