Then by all means Mr. Hofmann tell us what is incorrect about the article. You were arrested for Assault of a Child 3rd (was on the jail roster as such). I guess you are just mad about the facts in the case. For example did you or did you not hit a child with a belt that left a bruise for more than 2 weeks?
I don’t think you can sue anyone for posting the truth.
When the people here WRITE STORIES (using the proper spelling for both words), they do so with the information as released by the relevant law enforcement agency. It is called “News”. You might have heard of that?
look all over the world with all the law suits going on with child sevices in wa state and there is other states as well
law suit pending on pending on false pretence against lewis county sherriff office and child service want a story and you people right storys on here dont even know the facts and further more you are not protected any thing with any law becuse there is a such law for false and misleading statements
Or since you like making random threats in the evening, maybe lay off the sauce a little….LOL
Mr. Hofmann, you would need to speak to the Sheriff’s Office regarding releasing your name to the public/news media via their newsline. What happens is the deputy that took the report dictates onto a “answering machine” that can only be accessed in the office, then the media rep. for the Sheriff’s Office (Chief Civil Deputy Brown) then releases that information to the news media. Not all stories nor names/details the deputy left on the machine are released depending on the crime reported. I don’t believe you can sue anyone here though since this is a news/media site and is protected by the 1st Amendment. I am not a lawyer, so you might want to consult one if you feel you have a case.
and maybe you need to take parenting classes
It’s “LOSER”. And if your arrested, it’s public record, ergo it’s news.
News stories are not a violation of the privacy act, and are not a violation of your “constitutional rights”…..
