A contempt of court hearing for Washington County’s Clerk of Courts has been delayed again. Attorney’s for Brenda Davis filed the application to Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court for a writ of prohibition and request for an emergency stay earlier this week. The hearing had been scheduled for Monday. Davis has been facing a contempt of court hearing since shortly after Thanksgiving of last year when she was detained by Washington County Sheriff’s Deputies for allegedly refusing to allow the transfer of juvenile court records from her office to another office. The first hearing was delayed when she appealed to Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court. Those appeals were rejected. There is no timeline on when the state supreme court will rule on the appeal, the high court is expected to make a decision in about two weeks.
