From the Pendulum (4/22/11): An ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ senior filed suit against ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper for withholding Campus Safety and Police records concerning the arrest of a student last year.
Nick Ochsner, a reporter for Phoenix14 News, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s student television news program, filed the lawsuit April 13, 2011.
“I filed the lawsuit because I believe that the documents I am seeking are public records,” Ochsner said.
Ochsner said he was trying to obtain an arrest narrative, a document that describes the events surrounding an arrest.
“(Campus Safety and Police’s) practices subvert state law and I believe that the state public records law intends for the information that I am seeking to be public,” he said.
