Dear Muckrock News and Samuel Sinyangwe:

The Union County Sheriff's Office is in receipt of your voluminous public records request dated November 20, 2023. Your voluminous request came in during the busiest season of the year for the Sheriff's Office and was delivered to the Public Information Officer to begin gathering information responsive to the request.

As the holiday season came into full swing, a close family member of the Public Information Officer entered a terminal decline, which culminated in that person's passing this morning, when I received your third request for the same material. Rest assured the Union County Sheriff's Office will respond to your request in due time, after the Public Information Officer has had the opportunity to fully evaluate which, if any, records are in our possession that are both responsive to your request and not protected from disclosure by applicable law.

Sincerely,

--
