Statement

A woman entered Acree's house on 1/11/2022. She was arrested by the Cadiz Police Department; she was transferred to the Trigg County Jailer to be housed at Christian County Jail. Sheriff Acree told the jailer to stop off at the TCSO first. Acree took the woman out of the vehicle, into the TCSO out of view of anyone. The woman's statement, and subsequent civil filing, is he assaulted her and threatened to kill her. Acree denied this until a plea agreement was signed on 11/28/2023 to which he admitted to 4 misdemeanors (menacing, misconduct). The agreement is attached.

Kentucky Open Records Act

Kentucky Revised Statute Chapter 61.870 et seq.

The Kentucky 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. A public record is defined as including, “all books, papers, maps, photographs, cards, tapes, discs, diskettes, recordings, software, or other documentation regardless of physical form or characteristics, which are prepared, owned, used, in the possession of or retained by a public agency.”

Anyone can request public records 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 use of records which were declared for a commercial purpose are strictly forbidden. The Kentucky Open Records Act sets a three day limit on records requests but extensions are allowed in some cases.
