State v. Smith
Annotate this CaseDefendant was charged with three counts of simple assault against a law enforcement officer, among other offenses. Defendant served a subpoena on the county sheriff requesting all disciplinary records and complaints contained within the arresting officer’s personnel file. The sheriff filed a motion to quash the subpoena. The circuit court denied the motion in part and ordered the sheriff to produce, for in camera review, portions of the officer’s personnel records from the past five years. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the circuit court erred in ordering the sheriff to produce the arresting officer’s personnel records for in camera review.
