“I felt uncomfortable knowing I had to relay vital and confidential information to someone who may not be trustworthy,” the dispatcher later told her supervisor.”......

It was and is NOT her decision to relay information to the sheriff. She is (should be was) and employee of the county and it her duty to forward information to the TOP LAW authority in her county. End of story. When the dust settles, the sheriff could fire the dispatcher for not doing her job and MAY possibly be charged with obstruction. Might be interesting how that comes out.
