A legislative town hall meeting in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, spiraled into turmoil recently when private security personnel forcibly removed a female heckler, igniting controversy and prompting multiple investigations.

Three men physically removed her. Police confirmed the organizers hired Lear Asset Management security; the city has since revoked its business license.

The legislative town hall organized by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee and held in the Coeur d’Alene High School auditorium devolved into chaos when Kootenai County’s sheriff first took Borrenpohl by the arm and attempted to pull her from her seat when she declined to leave the event for speaking out of turn.
