and another...says they were private security with an assist from the County Sheriff who I seem to remember was on a leave of absence(?) at the time.
Private security company Lear Asset Management employed the three men and has since had its business license revoked for violating Coeur d'Alene City ordinances regarding security markings and identification.
The Coeur d'Alene Police Department is asking city prosecutors to review criminal charges, as reported earlier this month by KTVB's sister station in Spokane. Officers suggested charging five private security guards with battery and false imprisonment. Additional charges included violations of the Coeur d'Alene municipal code.
COEUR D’ALENE (The Spokesman-Review) — Two days after private security guards dragged a woman by her arms out of a legislative town hall in Coeur d’Alene at the signaling of Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris, he and others at the event are now facing investigations into their conduct

Norris then gestured to two men in plainclothes with black jackets. They grabbed Borrenpohl and told her to cooperate as Norris stood by, seen holding his phone as if he’s recording video. According to witness footage, Borrenpohl can be heard screaming repeatedly, “Who are these men?” and “Who are these guys?” as one man told her to cooperate.
Both men then pulled her to the floor and grabbed her by her arms and legs. The men rolled her over and dragged her by her arms out the door as she continued to ask people who the men are.
After she was dragged away, Norris is heard in the video asking for two more security workers. The speaker then echoes Norris’ request over the microphone, video shows.
