 Scott
The scope of the sights and sounds available from State Sen. Randy Scott’s driving under the influence arrest was expanded this week when a judge ruled recordings of calls made by Scott from jail could be released.
During a hearing in Greenwood on Tuesday, Circuit Judge James Williams dissolved the temporary restraining order he issued last Friday. That order had essentially blocked The Post and Courier from publishing the recordings, even though the newspaper had obtained them from the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
