Lawsuit alleges Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office violated public records act

COEUR d’ALENE — A Hayden resident has filed a lawsuit against the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office and Bob Norris in his capacity as sheriff, asking the court to compel KCSO to disclose certain records.

John Grimm, who ran unsuccessfully for Kootenai County sheriff, filed the lawsuit Wednesday. The suit alleges that the sheriff’s office violated Idaho public records laws by partially denying a lawful request made earlier this month.
