Scott Reed Mistaken For Bank Robber

Coeur d’Alene lawyer Scott Reed was handcuffed in his office last month after police mistook him for a possible bank robber. This case of mistaken identity prompted Reed to commend the department’s handling of the situation. It also prompted his son, who was President Clinton’s domestic policy adviser, to write about it in a column for the online magazine Slate. Five police officers, prompted by a burglar alarm, approached Reed - two with their guns drawn - about 7 a.m. Dec. 23 at the Bank of America building downtown/Meghann Cuniff, SR. More here.
