SANDPOINT — Following the arrests of two people at the Jan. 26 quarterly budget meeting, Bonner County Commissioner Steve Bradshaw said safety remains a high concern at the board’s weekly meetings.

Bradshaw said that following disturbances allegedly made by Bonner County resident Rick Cramer at the board’s Jan. 23 meeting, he was asked to leave and the police were called to have him trespassed. However, due to confusion over the proper process of removing someone from a meeting, he was allowed to stay for the rest of the meeting.

During Friday’s budget meeting, both Cramer and Dave Bowman were asked to leave at the start of the meeting. The pair were informed that they were being trespassed from the building for causing repeated disturbances during meetings. When they refused to leave, Sandpoint Police were called and the men were eventually arrested, although it is unclear if they have been formally charged with a crime or what the status of an investigation into the alleged conduct is.
