Private security dragged out a woman who had been interrupting a Kootenai County Republican Central Committee legislative town hall in Idaho Saturday as Sheriff Robert Norris stood by, spurring a disagreement between the sheriff and Coeur d’Alene’s police chief over the First Amendment implications of the incident.

Multiple video recordings of the incident at Coeur d’Alene High School show Teresa Borrenpohl, who ran for Idaho’s House of Representatives in 2024, 2022 and 2020 as a Democrat, seated in the auditorium as boos and cheers erupt around her.
