Murray, KY asked in Civil Rights for Kentucky

Q: Is a copy of the citation on a wanton endangerment charge the same thing as a police report?

My husband, who is 50 and never had anything on his record, has been charged with a wanton endangerment charge for a gun misfiring in the woods by our house. We have consulted some lawyers to see what to do and are currently trying to get the money to hire an attorney. One of them asked if we had a copy of the citation. I don't. If I google citation it is just talking about a ticket. Is the citation, in this case, the same as a police report, like in a car accident?

A: No. You will have to get a copy of the citation (Or police report) from your County District Court Clerks Office.
