Judge allows Butch Davis' protective order for phone records

Posted Aug 9, 2012
Superior Court Judge Howard Manning ruled Thursday to allow a protective order that would prevent the release of phone records from former UNC head football coach Butch Davis' personal cell phone. In a decision following a July 17 hearing, Manning granted Davis’ motion to quash the subpoena for the release of his 216-area code personal cell phone records that were being sought by a group of media outlets.
