COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — The private security firm hired for a town hall over the weekend will no longer be allowed to do business in Coeur d’Alene.
In a video at a town hall hosted by Kootenai County Republican Central Committee, Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl was seen being dragged by two employees of Lear Asset Managment.

Coeur d’Alene Police said officers were already in the Coeur d’Alene High School parking lot where the town hall was held investigating a separate threat made against a participating legislator.
Through the investigation, Coeur d’Alene police determined Lear was in violation of city ordinances regarding Security Agencies and Agents including ordinances requiring clear markings indicating agents are security personnel.
According to CDA police, Borrenpohl bit one of the Lear agents involved in removing her. She was initially cited for battery.
After further investigation, the City Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is moving to dismiss the citation in the interest of justice.
A GoFundMe set up for Dr. Borrenpohl has raised more than $144,000.
