SAGLE — A Clark Fork man has been arrested following an alleged assault against two men who were recently seeking political office in Bonner County.

According to Bonner County Sheriff’s reports, late last month, deputies were called to a Sagle business after reports of an assault had been made. The suspect, Michael Franco, was detained across the street from the business while deputies spoke to the two alleged victims.

The alleged victims were two men who filed for political office this year — Daniel Rose, who is seeking the State Senate District 1 seat as an independent, and Spencer Hutchings, who had recently lost in the primaries for the House of Representatives District 1A seat.
