Suspect's mug shot withheld
The Daily Times has asked for but is not being given the mug shot for rape suspect Jocori Marece Scarborough. Wicomico County Public Information Officer Tamara Lee-Brooks wrote in an email that a legal analysis was done and "based on the analysis it is believed that release of the photo would endanger the life or physical safety of the individual charged."
The newspaper subsequently sent formal Public Information Act requests to Lee-Brooks and Wicomico Bureau of Investigation Sgt. David Owens on Tuesday evening. Lee-Brooks' response was "Lol! Have a great evening!"
This is ridiculous if accurate. Does she not know that she works for the "public"? Even a Daily Times reporter deserves more respect than this!
