Oct 7, 2026

The full story
Judge Hart told the court the county will implement new entry‑screening procedures at the courthouse effective Oct. 12. Under the change, regular public access will be through the front door only; the back door will remain open for ADA access. County employees with magnetic key cards were told they may continue to use staff entrances but that they may need to display county employee ID at the front checkpoint during the initial roll‑out while deputies become familiar with staff lists.
