Contempt Hearing For Clerk Of Courts Scheduled

February 15, 2022 2:47 am

A contempt of court hearing for Washington County Clerk of Courts Brenda Davis has been scheduled for Monday, February 28th. The office of Washington County President Judge John DiSalle says it will begin at 9:30 a.m and will be held in Courtroom #2. It comes after Commonwealth Court rejected several appeals that were filed by Davis to block orders from Judge DiSalle, including an emergency stay of a contempt hearing originally scheduled for December 6. It followed an incident in late November when Davis attempted to stop sheriff’s deputies from transferring juvenile files from her office. Davis has been at odds with the Judge and County Commissioner’s over staffing and duty issues in her office. Davis also claims she was assaulted by deputies during that November 24 incident. Judge DiSalle has said that the contempt proceedings are important to get a full account of what happened that day.
