The Whitley County Detention Center was found to be in violation of the Kentucky Open Records Act when it failed to respond in writing to a request for records, denied portions of the request without explanation, and delayed providing records beyond the statutory response period without explaining the reason for delay, according to a Kentucky Attorney General Open Records Decision on May 17. The original request was made by Aaron Kidd on Feb. 22. Kidd requested records relating to, “the arrest and detention of a certain individual, including video of a purported altercation between that individual and Center employees, incident reports related to the altercation, and ‘use of force’ records,” stated the opinion.
