District Attorney Steve Gunnels
(Bend) -- The Deschutes County District Attorney’s office released more information Friday regarding D. A. Steve Gunnels placing Sheriff Kent Van der Kamp on the Brady List…a group of law enforcement officers who won’t be called to testify by prosecutors.
The D-A’s office report says Van Der Camp swore under oath he received degrees from universities he never actually attended.
Possession of the degrees would have shown qualifications to be called as an expert witness for Driving while Under The Influence cases.
Sheriff Van der Kamp has not commented publicly since a press release April 14th saying he respectfully disputes the decision. Reports suggest he’ll release a statement as early as Tuesday.
