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.

Coeur d'Alene police say employees with Lear Asset Management were not wearing uniforms identifying them as security, which violates city code.
