More Info: Spirit Lake City Councilman Jimmy K. Brown Jr. has been charged with misdemeanor battery and indecent exposure. Brown’s charges stem from an incident in mid-June when he allegedly got into a fight and exposed his penis behind Jo’s Hole Saloon on Maine Street. The criminal complaint filed in Kootenai County court said Brown, 56, allegedly hit a Spirit Lake man named Eric D. Vangemert, 44, several times in the face on June 16. Court documents show Brown was served on Sept. 23. He didn’t return a call Friday seeking comment. The indecent exposure charge stems from the alleged exposure of Brown’s penis in front of Vangemert and his wife, Randi M. Vangemert, 43, in the alley behind Jo’s saloon.
