Mayor Wannabe Fought In Court

Item: Coeur d'Alene mayoral candidate had fight in court: Chief bailiff suffered broken arm trying to control him/Jim Camden, SR

More Info: Chief Bailiff and Jury Commissioner Pete Barnes told The Spokesman-Review that Arnold was ordered removed from the court but resisted efforts by Barnes and four other bailiffs to take him into custody; Barnes broke his elbow in the scuffle. Barnes said he had to wear a brace following the fight and was on light duty for a while. “He was not going to go to the ground for anything,” Barnes said. Arnold said he can’t talk about the case because it’s pending and could soon “reach a resolution."

Question: Josh Arnold is a local GOP precinct leader who holds views similar to those of a constitutionalist. Should local Republicans be concerned about his court shenanigans -- and that he's running for mayor?
