[edit] Sheriff's Office told to pay fees in lawsuit

"The Arizona Court of Appeals on Thursday told the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office that it had to pay legal fees for a lawsuit over failing to produce public records in a timely manner.

A lower court had awarded the fees to the Tucson Citizen newspaper, even though the Sheriff's Office maintained that the initial records request had been made to a different agency.

But the court determined that Sheriff's Office had delayed disclosure of the records to the Citizen and ordered the office to pay more than $25,000." Read the full article here.
