Washington County Sheriff’s Deputies were forced to place Washington County Clerk of Courts Brenda Davis in handcuffs Wednesday morning after she refused a court order to hand over juvenile case filings that were housed in her office. Peter Marcoline is the soliciator for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office who told WJPA that deputies were called after Davis refused to comply with the order. Davis was then placed in handcuffs but the cuffs were removed after she complained of back pain. Davis was escorted to Judge John DiSalle’s courtroom for a hearing but she refused to go inside. Davis was eventually allowed to leave the courthouse after medics checked her for injuries. DiSalle held a hearing to place on the record, the days events, but Davis did not attend. Judge DiSalle ordered the Deputy Clerk of Courts to continue with the transfer of the juvenile case files but declined to say whether he would start contempt proceedings against Davis.
