Five counts of a civil suit filed against the Patrick County Board of Supervisors were dismissed on Monday, April 27, and the remaining count was voluntarily withdrawn during a hearing in Patrick County Circuit Court.
All of the counts related to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Steve Marshall, Blue Ridge District representative on the board, named fellow board members Jonathan Wood in his capacity as past chairman, Andrew Overby in his capacity as current chairman, and Clayton Kendrick as a board member, in the suit filed on April 20.
Circuit Court Judge Marcus Brinks presided over the hearing that drew about half a dozen residents and a few county employees.
