The Scott County Quorum Court voted Friday, March 6, 2026, to uphold the termination of an employee of the Scott County Circuit Clerk’s Office, following a special meeting and grievance hearing.

The meeting convened at 10 a.m., with the grievance hearing portion closed to the public at the request of the complainant and due to the sensitive nature of the evidence presented.

After several hours in closed session, the Quorum Court reconvened in open session at approximately 3 p.m. to take action on the matter.

Members present included Jamie Goff, John Luttrell, Dee Parker, Tara Brackett, Bob Hattabaugh, Leonard Russell, Lance Stinson and Tommy Roberson. Justice of the Peace Linda Vaughn was absent. Roberson left the meeting prior to the vote.

Following discussion, the Quorum Court voted unanimously among those present to uphold the termination.

Public notice of the special meeting was published in the print edition of the Resident Press on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, and was also made available online during the week of Tuesday, February 17.
