Statement

Michelle Nagy called the Bentley Police Department for help, after a domestic violence incident with her former partner. Bryan responded and transported Michelle and her 8-year-old to an anonymous domestic violence shelter. Upon checkin, Bryan advised Michelle an ID was required for checkin. Uncomfortable and scared, Michelle and her daughter exited the hotel to make a phone call. Bryan followed Michelle and her daughter outside. Michelle was then maced, thrown to the ground, and cuffed until her arms were bleeding. Scared, with Bryan sitting on her chest, Michelle grabbed Bryan's radio and screamed for help. Michelle was arrested for battery on LEO among other charges. Michelle and Bryan have a jury trial pending.

Kansas Open Records Act

KSA 45-215 et. seq.

The Kansas Open Records Act is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of government bodies at all levels in Kansas. The act defines public records as any records that are created or kept in public agencies and that pertain to the workings of the government.

Anyone can request public documents and while the law does not require an explicit statement of purpose, departments are allowed to reject records claims if it places “an unreasonable burden” on the department or if the department feels it is designed to disrupt the flow of the workings of government. The Kansas Open Records Act does not permit the use of lists of names and addresses for commercial purposes outside of political and educational opportunities and the use of student lists by university sales offices. The act allows three days for a department to respond to a request.
