Brenda Davis Facing Contempt Of Court Hearing

February 8, 2022 12:19 pm

Washington County Clerk of Courts Brenda Davis will likely be facing a contempt of court hearing in the near future, after Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court rejected her appeals to block various court orders issued by Washington County President Judge John DiSalle. Davis also sought an emergency stay of a contempt hearing on the heels of an incident in November in which she attempted to try and stop sheriff’s deputies from transferring juvenile court files from her office to another office. Judge DiSalle says he plans to reschedule Davis’s contempt hearing. Davis, since her election to the office, has been at odds with county commmissioners and Judge DiSalle over several issues, including staffing changes in her office.
