Private security dragged out a woman who had been interrupting a Kootenai County Republican Central Committee legislative town hall Saturday as Sheriff Robert Norris stood by, video shows, spurring a disagreement between the sheriff and Coeur d'Alene's police chief over the First Amendment implications of the incident.

Three men physically removed her. Police confirmed the organizers hired Lear Asset Management security; the city has since revoked its business license.

Multiple video recordings of the incident at Coeur d'Alene High School show Teresa Borrenpohl dragged out of the auditorium by two men in plain clothes.
