The attorney general's decision to subpoena Deseret News reporter Pat Reavy in connection with the Jan. 5 shooting death of Millard County Sheriff's Deputy Josie Greathouse Fox is a case of misplaced frustration, according to an attorney seeking to quash the subpoena on behalf of the Deseret News , The Salt Lake Tribune and other news media. At issue is a Jan. 20 story Reavy wrote after obtaining a search warrant issued to Salt Lake City police in their efforts to locate two suspects in the shooting after they fled Millard County. Police released the search warrant -- which revealed new information about the man suspected in the shooting, Roberto Miramontes Roman -- after Reavy filed a Government Records Access Management Act request. Now prosecutors want to question Reavy about "his decision to publish the contents of our sealed search warrant ..." according to a March 17 e-mail from Assistant Utah Attorney General Pat Nolan to media attorney Jeffrey Hunt.
