At least three lawsuits now have accused the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office of not responding to open records requests.
Two of the accusations are made in larger civil rights lawsuits and a third is lodged in its own open records suit.
The allegations come at a time when the county has been under scrutiny for destruction of records and allegedly stonewalling records requests. The sheriff’s office also has been under fire for a “catastrophic data loss” that caused thousands of sheriff’s office videos from dashboard cameras to disappear, something that potentially could jeopardize criminal and civil cases.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office did not return a request for comment Sunday.
