COEUR d’ALENE — A lawsuit filed by an incarcerated man asking the court to compel the Post Falls Police Department to disclose certain records will proceed, a Kootenai County judge ruled Tuesday.

Spokane resident Chadlen D. Smith filed the lawsuit last summer from inside an Idaho prison.

Smith received a 10-year prison sentence in July 2022, after a jury convicted him of sexual exploitation of a child by possession of sexually exploitative material. He was arrested in 2021 for allegedly stalking a Post Falls Police Department employee and later arrested again and charged with violating a protective order.
