After Saturday’s chaos, the city of Coeur d’Alene revoked Lear’s security license due to their uniforms and behavior, stating that both were in violation of city code, a news release from the Coeur d’Alene Police Department said.
Norris is also poised to be the subject of an outside investigation to determine if his conduct at the meeting violated any policy, according to a separate release from his own sheriff’s office. He is expected to make a statement on the matter Tuesday, a sheriff’s spokesperson said.
It’s unclear which agency will be tasked with investigating any policy violations, but options include the Idaho State Police, Post Falls Police or the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office.
Police cited Borrenpohl on Saturday night on suspicion of battery from the “limited information” known at the time after she allegedly bit one of the security guards removing her from the town hall, the police department said in a Monday news release. But following the review of more witness videos and other evidence, the Coeur d’Alene City Attorney’s Office declined to pursue prosecution.
“Careful consideration of relevant law,” the police report and additional information that came to light all contributed to the decision, Deputy Prosecutor Ryan Hunter said via email. A motion to dismiss Borrenpohl’s charge will be filed in the coming days.
A GoFundMe set up to help Borrenpohl in retaining legal counsel collected $200,000 from more than 6,000 contributors as of Monday night.
That GoFundMe is up to almost $270K with 8.8K donations as of 2/25 16:45.
