Sheriff depends deputy’s response

SANDPOINT — Bonner County Sheriff Daryl Wheeler said his office is taking allegations of intimidation and harassment of an Idaho Democratic party campaign organizer seriously.

Party officials said they were forced to withdraw the organizer from the campaign field after several instances of alleged harassment by those loyal to the GOP.

Party spokesman Dean Ferguson said they were left with little choice because a deputy was dismissive of the harassment claims and Wheeler was unresponsive when they sought assurances that its personnel would be afforded equal protection under the law/ Keith Kinnaird , Bonner County Bee. More here.
