An Atlanta broadcast news station has filed a lawsuit against Sheriff Neil Warren, accusing Cobb County’s top cop of violating the Open Records Act by refusing to turn over investigative files of inmates who have died in custody.
WXIA-TV, the NBC news affiliate known as 11Alive News to viewers, says Warren and the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office’s records custodian refused to produce case files concerning the deaths of three Adult Detention Center inmates. According to the lawsuit filed last week in Cobb County Superior Court, the news station contends the sheriff’s office told them that an active investigation prevents them from releasing the files.
