SANDPOINT — Bonner County is being threatened with a lawsuit by a local resident who claims Commissioner Luke Omodt has caused her physical and emotional harm by looking at her when he said lies will not be tolerated during a meeting.

On Dec. 19, Dian Welle sent an email to the county prosecutor demanding that Omodt publicly apologize for looking at her during a meeting as he reiterated the rules of the public comment section of the meeting.

Welle claimed all she had done was ask Commissioner Asia Williams a question, which she said she was allowed to do during that portion of the meeting.
