04/08/19 Editor’s Note: The Buncombe County District Attorney’s Office did provide us with the requested information on 01/29/19. The referenced report as it was received to Sunshine Request by Steven Cogburn was called “Copy of Unverified BUNCOMBE COUNTY Disposed 01-25-2019_20190129 ” .
Sunshine Request is trying to balance providing good data to the public, while minimizing the amount of personally identifiable information we publish as relates to criminal justice.
Therefore, as relates to the above request, we are not comfortable publishing the original version of the document on our site. Sunshine has removed fields of personally identifiable information that were provided back to us – Specifically, we removed Names, and Case #s. We have left demographic information as it was received. We have also renamed the file.
Please see referenced Redacted file ([REDACTED] Unverified BUNCOMBE COUNTY Disposed 01-25-2019_20190129.xlsx) at top left in “Documents”.
If the requestor would like to access the full data, please feel free to make a new request by contacting the Buncombe County DA’s Office directly.
Thank you!

I will check to see what report(s) can be run to help with this request. Unfortunately each file is handled individually and once presented to my office, we process and place into the file. As a result there is no specific record for this request.
I will see what we can find. I am certain that we will not have specific case types or reductions. The best we might be able to do is run a report for Friday to see what it gives us.
