The Coeur d’Alene Police are looking for the men suspected of plastering telephone poles along U.S. Highway 95 with Aryan fliers on Tuesday.

The police took a report Tuesday that two men were putting up fliers on poles along Highway 95 between Neider and Bosanko avenues around 3 p.m.

“This crime falls under city ordinance … and is a misdemeanor,” said police Sgt. Christie Wood in an email. She said the police received solid information from witnesses with vehicle and suspect descriptions, along with a license plate number. “The report will be forwarded to detectives and we will investigate it.”

One of the men was described as a white man with a slender build in his 30s or 40s. He had long brown hair and was wearing a khaki-colored hat on backwards. He had no shirt on and very short jeans shorts with cargo-style pockets. The vehicle was described as a tan Ford Ranger pick-up. Police also have a license plate number but are not releasing it at this time, Wood said.

  why dont they look for suspects when people hang up yard sale flyers on telephone poles ? If the law says hanging up posters on telephone poles is a misdemeanor then why don’t we get reports of the police searching for illegal yard sale sign postings?

  It was also reported that the combined IQ of both men was estimated at near zero. A confidential informant of the men reported that after numerous failed attempts to pass the first grade level, both men dropped out of school.

  Those two are giving rednecks a bad name just like the republicans did. Rednecks aren’t all racists or republicans. Some of them are normal. I think that only Daisy Duke should ever wear shorts like that anyways, she was hotttttt

  madscientist….get a clue. The law likely addresses intimidation of a group of fellow citizens based on sex, race, or creed. The law likely isn’t, “thou who post signs on telephone poles shall be guilty of a crime”.

  Please show me where it says, “hanging up posters on telephone poles is a misdemeanor” as you claim in your post. It says the CRIME is a misdemeanor, it never said the crime was hanging paper on a pole.
