[edit] Sheriff seeking legal opinion on release of crime reports

"Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner said he has asked the S.C. Attorney General for a legal opinion he hopes will put an end to a dispute between his office and The Beaufort Gazette and The Island Packet.

Tanner said he sent a letter Monday asking S.C. Attorney General Henry McMaster if he believes South Carolina's Freedom of Information Act allows the Sheriff's Office to deny public access to incident reports on weekends and holidays."
