The Aidaho woman, who was forcibly derived from the local Republican mayoralty in February, is seeking damage of $ 5 million.
Theresa Borrepol was extracted from its place and on the floor by private guards who did not identify after interrupting the GOP mayoralty in Core d’Anta, Idaho, on February 22, according to a video of the event and statements by officials.
Borrenpohl has filed a maid note on Monday with the clerk of Kootenai County, claiming that a group of men – she believes is a sheriff of Kootenai County Robert Norris, and a private security company hired for the event, violates her constitutional rights.
“The mayoralties are intended to encourage conversation and discourse on the path, which is why I am deeply disturbed that private security has taken me out of the public meeting to simply exercise my fundamental right to freedom of expression,” Boranol says in a statement.
Norris and the private security company, Lear Asset Management, did not immediately return requests for comment.
The court filing comes a few days after prosecutors said six men were charged with crimes in connection with the mayor’s office.
The Coeur D’Anene City Prosecutor’s Office announced in a statement on April 17 that she had been charged against six men participating in the event.
Paul Traith, Russell Dunn, Clean Berge and Jesse Jones were charged with a battery, a fake imprisonment, a violation of violations of the security agent and a breach of the security agent, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Alex Traith was charged with violating the security agent and violation of the security agent, and Michael Keller was charged with a battery, the statement said.
It was not clear immediately whether any of the men had a legal representation. NBC News’ attempts to reach the Cottenay Cabinet’s office of Idaho’s public defender were unsuccessful.
The City Hall in February hosted the Republican Committee of Cototheai County.
The committee during a Facebook publication at the time stated that Borrenpohl “called the legislators with insults”, thus breaking the mayoralty. In the end, she was asked to leave.
At that time, commission chairman Brent Regan said Borrenpohl had been removed from “licensed and bound professional security” after interrupting the event at least seven times. He accused her of having a history of breach of meetings.
All those present at the City Hall were told that they would be eliminated if they did not “respect the rights of others,” Regan said.
According to a video of the incident, the sheriff of Cototheai County Robert Norris asked the woman to leave, but she refused. After trying to remove Borrepol himself by pulling his hand, Norris instructed men to wear black clothes to take her down.
The video shows Borrenpohl, asking the men who they are, but they did not answer. She asked Norris if men were alternates; He also didn’t answer.
Norris was seen on the video and shouted at Borrepol to leave as she accused the men of attacking her. She was then physically extracted from her seat and on the floor.
Coeur d’Alene police department SGT. Jared Reno told NBC News at the time that the police chief recommended that the city’s license for Lear Asset Management be taken away, the security company for which men dressed in Black worked.
Since then, the company has been canceled its business license to violate Coeur d’Alene City regulations regarding the security markings and security identification, according to a Boise NBC News KTVB branch.
Following the incident, Borrenpohl told KTVB that she thought her first amendment rights had been taken from her at that moment.
“I could never imagine my right to freedom of speech and my right to assembly could undress in such a violent way,” the statement said. “Due to the sensitivity and shock of the question, I cannot speak immediately about this situation, but I will make my voice hearing when the weather is appropriate.”
