Washington: $45K settlement over public records violation in Benton County Sheriff recall

Benton County has agreed to a $45,000 settlement over Public Records violations from Sheriff Jerry Hatcher, who was ousted in 2021 recall. The Public Records request was looking to track ammunition from the Sheriff's office.

The County may still be facing a $22M lawsuit has been filed by deputies against the County for failing to protect them from Hatcher. No idea what happened with that suit.

An independent investigator found that Hatcher retaliated against a whistleblower and two witnesses and engaged in anti-union activity.
